Thanks, Tom! Very helpful. I'm curious whether you've ever had a patient with PFP that experiences chronic pain at rest. I have a patient that has anterior knee pain associated with activities that load the knee (running and cycling in particular), yet also a constant pain at rest. Is there a differential diagnosis I should be chasing? It has complicated rehab as his pain isn't settling and I'm unsure how much to push him.
This patient's infrapatellar fat pad was inflamed, which I believe is what was causing his chronic pain even at rest. This was an unusual case, and may not be what you're experiencing.

Im the same. Did you find anything out? The pain at rest just started … a few months after my PFP was diagnosed.
