   Achilles Tendonitis

I don't know if this is what I have, or if it's even related to Accutane, but I thought I'd mention it anyway. 

For about ten weeks now, I've had a pain in both Achilles tendons (the tendons that connect "calf muscles" to heels). 

Achilles tendonitis is just an inflammation of the achilles tendon.  It's usually caused by excess strain in athletes and such, but I haven't even exercised in a good 2 months.  So - I'm not sure what the deal is.  It hurts most in the morning when I wake up and try to walk, and sometimes when I've been sitting for a while.  This is consistent with Achilles tendonitis.  I know that Accutane MAY affect muscles and ligaments, so I thought I'd include it in my side-effect log.  I'll keep ya updated!
