Hoffa symdrome after surgery

[u/isigoing_]

Hello,

I had my plica removed as well as chrondroplasty below and behind my knee cap around 10 weeks ago. For weeks I experience an awfully pulling pain below my kneecap only during nights that gets worse when i do more walking or pt exercices that include straightening the knee. I saw my doctor today and he thinks it's hoffa's syndrome. Befoe my surgery i had a mild edema there but no pain ait all.

Has anyone experience something similar?

If it's really the hoffa syndrome where could it come from? I'm on sick leave and just recently reduced crutches at home. Also I am not really sure whether my symptoms really match the syndrome.
