Accutane cause Bone Stress Injuries?
I am a long distance runner and have been taking 20mg Accutane(Isotrentinoin)for nearly a year and I have recently been moved up to 30mg in the past week by my doctor and experienced shin pain, off running 5 miles a day.
I have had a bad history of multiple stress fractures in the femur and tibia and just came off a stress reaction in the opposite shin. I am a junior in college who left their D1 team soph year to run for a local competitive club program due to a femur stress fracture
This has been a very grey zone from doctors not knowing what to do, and have not gotten mixed answers regarding how high endurance athletes react to the drug and would like to get some feedback on anyone who has had experience using 20mg-60mg Accutane and running 50+ mpw. As of right now I am very unsure what to do, and do not want to have to miss another year of consistent training.
(I should add this has nothing to do with calcium, vitamin D, or K2)
