A member asked:

My son has been on nasonex (mometasone) for a couple of months and has been complaining about pain behind his knees. will this go away when he stops nasonex (mometasone)?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Can't see connection: The medication is used quite a distance from the area of pain and it is not absorbed to a significant degree into the blood. I can't put the two issues together in a cause/effect pattern.This is likely co-incidence.
