Hi,

Yes, it can be due to the side effects of Isotretinoin. Isotretinoin can cause arthralgia, back pain, and myalgia as some of its common side effects. I advise you to consult your dermatologist for an effective alternative but a safer drug for the treatment of pimples or dose reduction of Isoretinoin.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
