Outside Knee Pain That's Not What You Think: Hoffa's Impingement Explained
Description
Join your handy-dandy running injury expert, Dr. Mandy, as she gets personal about an injury she's been navigating for over a year: Hoffa's fat pad impingement. With a background in NCAA cross country and track, coaching, and now specializing in trail and ultra running, Dr. Mandy knows a thing or two about runner's aches and pains. This isn't your typical ACL tear or patellar issue – there was no specific 'aha!' moment of injury, no popping or bruising. Instead, this outside lower knee pain came on gradually, possibly aggravated by a steep, technical descent during a run and exacerbated by a long day standing at a track meet. Dr. Mandy shares her experience with this often misunderstood condition, offering insights into what it feels like and how it can develop. If you've experienced nagging pain around your knee that doesn't fit the usual injury descriptions, this episode might shed some light on what could be going on.
