Isotretinoin and Running: Side effects, Joint pain and REDUCED ENDURANCE!?

[@popthechain]

I was taking it as a division one track athlete and had a pretty good season even ran a PR while taking it lol. I hope your experience was good and you continue to have clear skin!

I am on day 5. I have been looking for such a video. I love running 🏃

[@thingsbrentdoes]

It's a long journey but hopefully it will be worth it for you!! Keep going!

[@traceycrawford9938]

Just started this week. Thank you for all the info!

[@thingsbrentdoes]

You are so welcome! I hope it goes well!

[@ClipzistheGoat]

I’m on month 3 and can’t run anymore because my knees hurt to much

[@thingsbrentdoes]

I can really sympathise! Hopefully it won't be too much longer until you can get back out there!

[@ClipzistheGoat]

@@thingsbrentdoes I went back to 1 pill a day and feel much better

[@Belle16110]

Great, taking it now and going to have PE as a sophomore with the same teacher from last year…. She likes to make us run

[@thingsbrentdoes]

Good luck and take it easy! listen to your body. That stuff is potent!

[@Belle16110]

Thanks!

Shin splints for me, I play soccer. I must take ibuprofen, or I can’t run, hurts sooo much

[@Djfocybdjdio]

Have you bounced back since stopping? I do mma and I’m worried that the muscle and bone weakness will be permanent.

[@thingsbrentdoes]

I've bounced back completely. It sucks while you're taking it, but everything I could do before, I can do again now.

[@lolipoppz]

@@thingsbrentdoeshow long after treatment did it take for you to bounce back completely?

[@ianfesko8125]

i can relate to this but its only when i run it hurts im also 3 months in and i dont know if its shoes or weight or if its the medicine, i stop acutain in september or november, can you help me reccomend what to do, im in middle school.

[@thingsbrentdoes]

That sucks to hear. But, things will improve. I found that I had to reduce the exercise down to a bare minimum while taking the medication. It's only for a relatively short time. And I will pick it back up when my course is over!

[@ianfesko8125]

@@thingsbrentdoes thank you for the advice now i put it to work!

[@caitlinlaga1856]

I love it. Idc about the side effects lol.

[@dakuxhunterorsongoku5255]

how are you now please stop taking this poison it ruined my life 😭😭

[@thingsbrentdoes]

While taking it, it's pretty awful! But, since I finished my course, I'm back to normal and my skin has stayed clear. Sorry to hear about your experience though.
