Costochondritis
2 years ago, I tried training while on high dose Accutane.
Within 2 months training on Accutane, while doing bicep curls I heard a loud pop followed by extreme sharp pain in my right rib.
I ripped the costal cartilage and was in extreme pain for 1 year+ after that, paralyzed, couldn't jog, run, or carry anything.

Now after 2 years it's 99% healed.
Last week tested with pullups, on 3rd rep heard a loud pop on right side again and it swelled up with sharp pain again.
So I still need avoid all physical activity.

Mobilizing spine rotation & ribs and taking NSAIDs helps ALOT.
So I'll will have to do physiotherapy, take NSAIDs and rest for about 5 more months to settle this.

This condition is called costhocondritis and can take 2-7 years to heal.
Medical practitioners will say it's just inflammation of costo cartilage and will eventually subside. But here's some insight:

Lesson: DO NOT train while on medicines that dry up your ligaments, tendons and joints. Be a pussy and make it an excuse that you cannot train while on such medicines rather than having "no excuse" mindset.

It really depends on individual

I was on accutane for acne problem, you know, the stuff that makes your eye sensitive to lights, and give you chapped lips, i was on that magical pink pill that heals ance and i did train continuously without much problem on my lower back and joints

knowing im on accutane and creatine at the same time, I did drink roughly 5 to 6 L of water a day, specifically look for multi with joint support + fish oil

maybe it's just your body that couldnt take it, or you messed up your supplements, or your training altogether

then again weight training is a long term thing, wish you a speedy recovery and if you're still interested in in you can probably catch your progress up pretty quickly with the knowledge you already have
