Where is the hoffa pad located in the knee? i am having swelling and pain in the front lateral side of the knee. what could this be? please help

Hoffa pad NOT: The Hoffa pas is below the knee cap. Your problem sounds like possibly fluid in the knee due to a meniscal or cartilage injury. You should be evaluated to ascertain the problem. In the meantime you should apply ice to the area after activity. You may try capsaicin cream( a small amount) at night for relief. Oral anti-inflammatories should help if you have no history of a stomach ulcer renal diseas
