I dislocated my knee a few months ago, I saw a physical therapist and an orthopedic surgeon. thought i’d share what many comments are asking about...
when your kneecap dislocates it always tears a ligament in the inside of your knee that holds the kneecap in. so after one dislocation you are almost definitely going to dislocate it again. physical therapy strengthens muscles that help support the knee so it’s less likely to dislocate again
Whitney Hurst I'm scared now. I dislocated my kneecap from dancing two weeks ago and I'm still recovering. I hope I won't experience it again.
That’s true. This is why it is so important to strengthen the muscles surrounding the knee and doing pt.
@@hannaheunice323 same! Did it whilst dancing and it's been over 11 weeks now and still feels loose and wobbly.
My knee dislocated often, it's so painful and scary 😭
@@hannaheunice323 curious if you ever regained stability in the kneecap you dislocated? I am here five years later wondering if I should start the show up again and go see a new ortho. building the muscle was trying. I severed my mpfl from the bone but it was too weak for surgery in 2015. it's 2020 and nothing has become any easier :( hugs to you!
I dislocated the patella 9 times and I have more or less GOOD news.
After the 6th dislocation, with 17 years old, I got a surgery (lateral release + MPFL repair). I was well for 5 years, until it happened again...
I visited over 10 different orthopedists and 5 physiotherapists during all these years, and started researching a LOT on this topic myself, so I started having my own opinions on the subject.
Some of these doctors proposed me now bone realignment surgery (TTO), others proposed a MPFL reconstruction, others proposed both, and interestingly three other doctors now here in Norway proposed me to not do any more surgeries.
Some physiotherapists recommended to work with my VMO and leg muscles, some recommended to work with my feet muscles (to avoid pronation), some recommended to work more with my glutes since it is the strongest muscle contributing to your leg posture, and some with my balance and proprioception.
I made a decision. To dedicate myself to all these exercises. Attention, depending on your own condition (presence of osteoarthritis and a few other factors), these exercises might or not be suitable to you:
Cycling, elliptical training, rowing and running (less recommended if you have osteoarthritis or weak unbalanced muscles overall)
Leg extension exercises on the last 45 degrees while squeezing something between your knees; Lunges on balance pads; One leg stands / mini squats on balance pads while challenging your balance; Hip thrusters; One leg raises with the other leg balancing on top of an exercise ball; Banded clams; Training your reflexes to pull the VMO faster than the outer muscles;
Proprioception: Constant awareness of the posture of your legs. It is extremely important to understand what dangerous knee / leg positions put you at risk of dislocation. Avoid them the best you can, all the time, especially during risky activities.
Keep a healthy weight: This helps in more ways than you might imagine, both mechanical and biochemical.
Stretching exercises.
Think about the activities/sports you practice. Look at how risky that activity is for your knee compared to the happiness it gives you. Consider reducing the ones with higher risk/happiness ratios.
After moderately dedicating myself to most of these recommendations (not really sure which contributed the most), I went from frequent dislocations (just some months apart), to only 1 dislocation in the last 6 years, while still doing several risky activities.
I encourage all to pursue a non-surgical path, with all your dedication and constant search for new information, before considering surgery.
Medicine is advancing fast and new studies and methods are being developed every moment. I recommend searching “patellar dislocation” on PubMed: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/ , and finding a world of research in this topic.
There are many difficult words but with time, you will understand most of it.
Medicine is definitely not an exact science so always read several studies, and consult several doctors and physiotherapists, because their conclusions and opinions differ a LOT.
Enjoy life and sports, and commit yourselves!
Thanks a lot! Very helpful information and experiences sharing.
Hi! I also have patellar lateralization and dislocation. I took some physical therapy but I haven't taken any surgery. I think my problem comes from flat foot or pronation of the foot, which results in knee buckling and patellar lateralization. Do you also have a similar case? Now I have to wear the orthopedic insole to prevent foot pronation.
thank you for the explanation
Thanks for your exclamation, just wondering I’m 16 and have dislocated my patella 3 times and I’m really good at football (soccer) what do you recommend I do to prevent this again
Thorough and helpful information, thank you!!!
dont forget. getting the kneecap dislocated is VERY painful
Just got one today...and i was just walking when that happen
Ikr
It happened to me for the first time really today and I felt like I was going to pass out. Hopefully it doesn't happen again
Mega Mariner yeah, I dislocated my knee like 2 weeks ago and I'm still struggling to walk normally without feeling pain, especially when I'm climbing the stairs.
Mega Mariner my kneecap, I mean
Literally the best channel for athletes find myself watching your videos and getting the answers I need
By far the most painful thing I ever experienced. I didn't know pain could be that bad. I have vivid memories each time I did it. The first time was by far the worst. Each time after it's easier to dislocate but quicker to recover from. So painful. Beyond words. Agonizing.
Did yours pop??
@trevonsmall2308 No, mine did not pop. If it popped that means there was probably something else that happened.
I often dislocate my kneecap when im sleeping...the pain instantly wakes me up and then end up spending 5 or so minutes trying to pop it right back in. The pain is immense!!!
You guys pop it back in! When I dislocate my knee cap I call for help cause I CANNOT bear the pain!
How do you pop it back in
@@theflyingpenguin2163 I Dislocated my knee cap about month and half ago i landed wrong while jumping but mine when right back in place.
@@user-nd2dc9dk1m your meant to do a weird kicking thing but my knee often pops out and I always just push it back in with my hands
I wear a brace at night for this exact reason
I just dislocated my patella a few days ago and I am recovering. I can confirm, it is VERY painful!!! X-rays showed I have a patella alta. But these guys showed exactly how I felt mine come out!
I did it the exact same way skiing, only dislocated it once but after physical therapy not helping and still being very unstable I have since had my mpfl reconstructed. Big reason for me is I have ehlers-danlos syndrome and my joints are extremely prone to dislocation.
I now have patella alta too :( have you dislocated it anymore?
I fully dislocated my left kneecap and it had to be reduced, the next two years, including this one, I partly dislocated my right kneecap six times. It’s great over here.
I have had dislocating patella's for a LONG time, dislocating at least 20+ times in my life. I am very hypermobile. I'm now 40 years old. My dislocations happen laterally and medially. Most recently I was walking across the street and it went out quite violently. I had a lot of swelling this time. Now it catches when I step wrong. Thanks for all the info Bob and Brad. I'm in school to become a PTA, so I'm also thankful for the info.
Just dislocated my knee cap lucky meee
Same here thou😭✌🏼
Grun3bby just happen like 1 hour ago fuccckkk
Same 😂😂 god its so scary
Omg! I just remembered I left a comment...! So how we all healin?🤣
Grun3bby walking normal again but just scared to over due it ,but im gonna wait another month to start exercising.
Thank you for posting this!! I have patellar tracking disorder and I dislocated my kneecap a lot. I needed surgery to fix the ligaments and stuff. I still have issues with shifting and dislocating. This video was helpful!! You guys are so knowledgeable:)
My kneecap still isn't in the correct groove, and my orthopedic surgeon is trying to avoid another major surgery!
+Cassi N. me too. 😭😭😭
i dislocated my knee 8-9 months ago by playing football and im afraid of the thought of reccurent dislocation

How to fill a pla
Be prepared. Dislocated my kneecap 3 times and now I'm having surgery
@@iamsueshii8529 i just did it the third time but the 2nd wasn't serious how were yours?
@@TheTAEclub my kneecap dislocates but pops itself back into place. There's two tendons that hold your kneecap into place and we believe one or both of the tendons are torn, but we don't know which one. So the doctor will go in and repair the tendon, then if they have to they'll place a hamstring cuff on my kneecap.
iamsueshii omg thank you Bc Ive recently dislocated my knee cap the second time and oof my knee cap does go back into place. But im afraid dislocating my knee cap a third time. I though I was the only one. Thank you once again for you’re story
As you know, when you seek help, they do knee exams... and the tearing of ACL during those exams leave the joint vulnerable to patellar subluxation. Once you have been through all that, you’re not likely to seek help even if it’s needed.
My knee dislocates often (every 2 or so weeks it’ll happen) and it’s been happening for around 2 years now. I never thought anything of it until it happened one day in school and my pe teacher was freaking out and told me to get medical attention, I did and turns out since it’s been going on so long I’m likely gonna need surgery in the future since it’s found the path and will never fix itself
That's terrible!!
Thanks guys, you're the best! Do you have any videos on correcting posture? Kyphosis?
Man i wish I could afford surgery... you guys make it sound so easy!
i dislocated my knee cap 3 times in the last year , november last year , september this year and then yesterday... i’m scared they’re telling me to have surgery just to make money i’m only 15
I've dislocated my knee cap 5 times
Same
Same 6th time today
Same had one today
michael 99069 I’ve dislocated it 3 times in two weeks
Wtf. I am not doing sports again. This is grossing me out. Btw I got a patellar dislocation and a tibial fracture from HIGHJUMPING!
Dislocated my kneecap for the first time yesterday I was lucky because it was only partially dislocated so it didn't hurt as much but it was one of the scariest experiences I've ever had I am an avid runner and I was curious about what I can do to make sure this doesn't happen again.
Lucky you :( mine came out all the way a few days ago
i think mine is partial it just happened when I was playing with my brother. any updates? mine popped back in place shortly after and I just felt a little pain and about an hour later I don't feel any pain anymore. Does it heal on its own since it was minor?
@@sbadviyou recovered?
@@PallaviBhardwaj-ox3uk yeah seems like it. My knee does pop and crack more than before but its pretty much good now. Doctor was pretty vagues despite trying to get more answers out of him but it seemed like they weren't too concerned.
I forgot to add; thank you for this video. It's very useful and interesting information! Thank you.
I dislocated my knee back in April and they told me at my appointment that my tendon that goes over the patella that holds it in is at an angle and they said if I dislocate it again they will start talking about surgery
I dislocated my knee twice. The first time it happened was about 5 years ago when I was in the restroom at school. I think I twisted my leg incorrectly. I sat there for awhile until a teacher heard me screaming. I had to have morphine administered before the doctor could put the knee back in. The second time it happened was recently, and interestly enough, it was the same knee that popped out years ago (the left knee). I was just walking out of the kitchen when it happened (thankfully, my family was there and immediately called 911). My knee was popped back in without morphine. Both times the dislocation happened, it felt like horse stepped on my knee. (×_×)⌒☆ I'm still wearing the knee immobilizer, and the doctor said I might have to get knee surgery to stop it from dislocating. It's still a bit unstable, but it doesn't really hurt that bad. I can still walk around, but with a bit of a limp.
Bonnie BunBuns I have floated in the same boat. I dislocated my left twice and had to get surgery. The only difference was it happened at home both times, and the second time it happened I popped it back in myself. Last year I dislocated my right knee. And I think it popped again (I was getting up and I felt painful popping in my knee, it was probably another dislocation). I’m going to the doctor next week. Probably will need surgery. P.S. I would suggest you get surgery even if there is no damage because after dislocating a twice it’s an 85% chance of coming out again and if You dislocated it a third time it’s a 100% chance. Oh and if you really don’t want surgery you can just live with it. It gets to the point where when the knee pops out that it doesn’t hurt so some people just live with it and if their knee comes out they just pop it back in by them self. Not trying to influence your deficiencies, I’m just letting you know what I know.
I dislocated my patella over a month ago and my knee is still double the size as the other and still feels super unstable even with the brace and physical therapy. I really hope my orthopedist considers surgery when I go in for my recheck because I'm so terrified of it happening again. Worst pain in my life. I'd rather break my foot (which I did in February) 30 times over than dislocate my patella again. 100/10 would not recommend.
Right
I'm only two weeks into recovery and it is very unstable without a brace. I've been having anxiety that it's still swollen, so thank you for letting me know that that's normal! Did he end up offering surgery? I see my surgeon tomorrow.
Right? When mine dislocated, I remember thinking, "This is why torture works." I would have done anything to make the pain stop. I literally saw stars. Way worse than anything in the childbirth realm.
Hi Doctors, how is the surgery for patella dislocation? Is there a need for using screws?
Seriously this is great watching this now. How far these guys have cime. Do you still think surgery is still needed after watching @Kneesovertoesguy?
I dislocated mine just by putting my clothes in the dryer. I will never forget that popping sound. The doctor said I have weak knees. I never heard of this before.
How is your knee??
@@mariilapyt4213 It's fine now. It's been a little while so the memory is fading - haha
@@B-ch6uk that’s good! When did you first dislocate it though? Jw because it’s been about 3 months post for me and my knee is still stiff and unable to bend fully but getting stronger. Just wondering bout your recovery time
@@mariilapyt4213 I had to wear a knee brace for 6 weeks then about 10 physical therapy visits. Now it feels good 6 months later. The worst part is the fear it will happen again. Good luck to you.
@@B-ch6uknow you recovered??
Sir do I have a chance to straighten my right knee again even if my knee is dislocated for about 12-15 years ago. I'm 19 years old now by the way.
Had a 3 cm femoral fracture chip re-attached 2 and a half months ago and this video was very educational thanks
I’ve dislocated my right patella four times now… I’ve just had an MRI scan and I need to see a specialist
I've dislocated my patella twice, I gave up field sports as a consequence and took up cycling. But over time I developed patella overload, down to patella alta, so require surgery. Most people will start with conservative treatment such as physio for the VMO, but that can actually make the condition worse by pulling the kneecap up. It's a complicated joint and you need a knee specialist looking at MRIs and Xrays before deciding whether you need surgery - and importantly what type of surgery.
I have had this happen from time to time. I like to keep active, and I have noticed that it tends to happen in the day or so after I have done a lot of walking or biking. It's a though the surrounding muscle is fatigued and the knee is weak. I rarely have any pain though, and I have just a little swelling after it dislocates. I am going to try the exercises that you have in your videos and see if things improve. I am not a big fan of surgery especially if I don't have any pain or discomfort. But then it sure would nice not to be concerned about it.
I am 36 years old. When I was 16 I dislocated my left patella twice. A year apart during football practice. Whenever I would go back to therapy for it I would last a whole season no problem. Since then I graduated high school and never dislocated it again. I neglected it until now, I am going to the police academy and I am doing some of the exercises that I remember from high school and notice that my knee is starting to hurt. Should I just keep pushing through the pain? Should I be doing more of a basic movement. My left knee is knock kneed more than the right. I would appreciate any information from you? I was thinking getting orthotics again and a better shoe. I need to make it through my 6 months Academy this year.... thank you for taking the time to help
I kerp wondering if my lateral release gave my patella too much play and that's how it was so easy to dislocate.
Thanks for the video! I've been dealing with this since I was in 7th grade ( I'm now 33!), I have loose ligaments and my kneecaps don't sit into the grooves, they are off center. I am going to the doctor this week to hopefully get the ball rolling on surgery. What kind of surgery do you think would correct this?
Same thing happened to me in six grade and I’m 30 now did you end up going to the doctor by any chance?
@@Carlitosmom I did! They ended up doing a MPFL reconstruction. I'm too young for a knee replacement. The recovery was painful and took a while, but my knee is in the right place now and hasn't given me any problems!
@@jenniferw.1665 how's your pain now?
Just got back from the hospital and it was the most pain I have ever felt.

How is the healing going? As I’m going through it right now and it is quite depressing and awful it has ruined my quality of life drastically :(

Hello, very informative video. I recently had arthroscopic surgery to fix my dislocated knee cap. After three weeks I was doing really well in therapy but all of a sudden today I had the sharpest pains just above my knee cap and wasn't able to do any of my workouts. Any ideas on what the problem could be? Thanks in advance.
I’ve lived with recurrent patellar subluxations since I was a young child. It’s soooo painful and I have had them in both legs too. Hoping I can get surgery soon
How was the surgery? I have had it 5 times so far. I have a very shallow groove and want to get back to martial arts
To add to my previous comment. I had a scope done when I was 18 and I had my mcl removed as it was tore from the dislocation. Also my left knee goes in more so it tore to the outside... thank you again.. love your videos
Im getting surgery for my knee becasue I dislocated it like 3 to 4 times and the last time I dislocated it, a tiny bone broke off and it’s floating in my knee so there going to do surgery on it on March 2 and I’m so scared
How did it go
@@supercatforever it went perfect, I’m walking and I have no pain whatsoever but it only has been 6 week after surgery so I can’t run or do any of those stuff but, I’m not on crutches, the only thing I don’t like is the scar I have, it looks like a earthworm, I hate it but beside that , it amazing
Oh no
Informative video in my case BOTH of my knees need a total replacement cartilage in both knees has deteriorated to nearly bone on bone in the joint. My podiatrist tells me he will not do the knee replacement surgery until I reduce my weight to 275 lbs. I am age 70, 6'3" tall, started out at 355 lbs and currently at 325 lbs. According to the Harvard medical website they notice no problem in recovery in surgery if a person is over-weight or at weight. I think I am going to need to shop around for another Dr. that WILL do the 'joint replacement surgery' at my current weight. I have had numerous periods where my left knee has 'popped' needless to say it hurt like hell nearly causing me to collapse to the ground. Any thoughts?
Dude lose weight lol
Thank you so much for these videos. I got my knee dislocated 3 weeks ago i cant put weight on it yet and it still swolen.
Same
Can u tell me when did u start to walk on it again
itz_ NaNa i spend a month on crutches and then a month on therapy, i had to learn how to bend it again.
@@Amandaydios go strong
@@Amandaydios how is it now ? Can you bend it???
Bicycling is excellent therapy!
I have been living and playing sports with a subluxing patella for about 2 years now. It first happened my freshman year during football and has happened 7 times since. I finally ended up getting surgery after number 8 and 4 weeks after surgery my knee is great.. no more crunching sounds fully bendable and not even too weak. To anyone on the edge of getting surgery I'd 10/10 recommend
how much did it cost you, if you don't mind answering.
Scott Stanley same although my knee first dislocated when i was in grade 4, both my knees dislocate.in total they have both dislocated about 11 times
Scott Stanley was the recovery hard ? Did surgery hurt ?
I'm really hoping my doctor considers surgery during my recheck. I'm so terrified of it happening again. My opposite knee would do it all the time, but would always go immediately back into place. my "good" knee was the one that was stuck and had to call an ambulance for. Worst. Ever. I'm over it. I'm ready for bionic knees.
This might be a bit late but i do Muay Thai where you constantly bash the knees would it hinder me
Dislocated my Knee cap and partially ruptured my Patellar tendon 5 weeks ago. Still using immobilizer brace, but by week 2 I was able to practically put full weight on my bad leg, but with crutches. Week 6 I will be meeting with my doctor once again and we will see if I can go directly into rehab or if surgery is the better route. I'm shooting for rehab!
Any updates ??
@@tushar3674 I am at the gym as I type this doing seated leg curls. Knee is not the same, some limitations but I'm doing very well thanks for the inquiry. Hope for the best for you.
@@CesarinAZ Thanks 😊
@@tushar3674 no surgery happened because it was the first time I remember him saying. But surgery might be down the road if my knee starts giving me problems. So far so good.
@@CesarinAZ hey what's now
guys my kneecap dislocates all of the time. it started in 5th grade (i'm a tenth grader now) but it used to hurt so bad and i guess i've gotten used to it so it doesn't hurt any more. i have mild cerebral palsy which i think makes it happen more because i dont have the strongest leg muscles. regardless, i just straighten my leg and it pops back in!!! ice it for 30 minutes and it's good to go!!!
Were you given the option of surgery or were you told that you couldn’t as I have cerebral palsy?

It was raining today so when I walked into the supermarket the floor was wet so I slipped, my leg bent sideways and dislocated my kneecap. I don’t like causing a scene so I tried to laugh it off but it was so painful I just couldn’t. The pain wasn’t even the worst thing for me, personally. I’m a squeamish person so hearing and feeling my leg pop and then like 6 seconds later pop back into place just made me feel sick. Not gonna sue the supermarket though. They shouldn’t be accountable for me being a dumbass
The floor shouldn’t be wet
I had two really bad falls i the last 2 years and had mild-moderate concussions
. I don't want surgery, but don't want to fall again. Is therapy are reasonable solution or should I just go ahead and do the surgery? I am 56 year old woman, flat footed, and over weight.
How long is normal for your knee to be swollen after a patella dislocation with no torn or sprained ligaments? Thanks
I dislocated my patella over a month ago and my knee is still double the size. Although the doctor couldn't really tell if I had any torn ligaments because my knee was the size of a grapefruit and he didn't want to do an MRI...
Hi bob and Brad, what if your legs naturally bend inward at the knee joint from standing that way as a child? Is it possible to walk on the knee dislocation if you've not realised? Can it pop it normally and still twinge with tenderness?
I dislocated my knee cap and was kept from football for 3 months, it felt abit better but not fully recovered
I just dislocated mine again, last time was 2010 (basketball). Same knee again today (2018), basketball again. I didn't go see a doctor the first time, just popped it back into place, it was swollen for a few days, but I walked on it. It was perfect after about 3-4 weeks or so. Same thing this time, I just popped it back into place today, albeit it was a bit more difficult to get it back into place today for some reason. It hurts less now (hours after it happened). I even went out for a bit and grabbed some food now and walked up and down the steps a few times already, so I don't know. Not sure if should just chill or not, but I already elevated the knee and put some ice on it, but there's no real significant pain to be honest. FYI, my knee was all the way to the outside (nearly 90 degrees). I have no idea if I'm just lucky, if I deal with pain well, or what it is, but I honestly don't feel like it's a big deal.
Bob Smith same here.
yeah i wish mine was like that but my friend has a similar story to you for him its one day max recovery
same here. have u ever have kneecap dislocation again after that?
@@EstherKrisanti I stopped playing basketball competitively, so thankfully it hasn't happened again. I've been very careful though, that's probably why. I hope you're ok as well.
@@bballplayer375 hey how have you been, has your knee been dislocated every since 3 years ago? It happened to me for the first time while playing basketball few days ago and I am not going to play bball anymore. Wondering if I can still do squat and deadlift.
This was very interesting. I recently did this just by walking and tripping over something in an awkward way. I had to call the paramedics, and when they put me on a stretcher, it miraculously fixed itself. After that, there was discomfort from all the swelling, but there was little to no pain. After a day of bed rest, I was able to walk just fine with a little limp.
About the 'Q groove' I don't have one. I didn't know our skeletons were designed to move that way.
I do play tennis, though. If you ever see this comment, when do you think it would be ok for me to start playing again? I have done some physical therapy.
Ive been dislocating my knee playing basketball for about 10 years now I'm 23 and its been happening since 13. Do you think the strengthening excersises will work at this point??
I dislocated my knee during wrestling and it started to feel better after 2 weeks of physical therapy but the pain just came back worse than ever. Did anybody else because this is starting to wear me down real bad.
Sometimes the pain gets better and comes back when not completely healed properly yet. You just have to continue to do your exercises but also listen to your body as well. If something makes the pain worse, stop doing that particular exercise.
Only a junior, and I had it dislocate about 14-16 times. First was 2nd grade. Had two many mri’s to even count. Doctor says I need surgery but it’s not much money as well as even pt costs too much for my family, trying to find some good strengthening exercises to help
I been watching your videos trying to figure out what is wrong, had to go to the hospital get a mri and it's my patella. Looking at surgery now. And mine goes to the left, cause cartilage damage too, and it's tilted
I don't know what is the problem with my knee the inside side of knee changes position and also I had shin pain and pain in my inner side nerve pain and now my thigh inner nerve pains does anyone have any idea
We'll a while back I was playing soccer and I tripped and landed right on my knee and I've went to doctors and they didn't find anything wrong with it it some times it locks my knee is this cureable?
I'm getting an MRI on my right knee tomorrow to make sure there's no cartilage damage since it completely dislocated like 2 months ago. If not, we're gonna discuss an MPFL for my left knee since it's been subluxating for like 10 years and he's the first doctor to even consider any surgical fix. He said recovery is like 6 months, but if i can get out of my car without my knee going, I'm all for it. I'm ready to be over this issue. My question is, 6 months? I understand if you're an athlete and stuff. But, 6 months?
@Megan Tholin Yes 6-10 months for the recovery, but everyone is different. As someone had mpfl reconstruction surgery, they had to go physical therapy every 1 week till 4 or 5 months to spread out for 2 weeks. The physical therapy will help you bend your knee, build muscles you lost from the surgery, etc. Because you don't want to damage the new ligament from the surgery.
My husband had a patellofemoral replacement (partial knee). The patella did not sublux after surgery for weeks but now dislocates, mostly w/stairs. Do you think he can address this with PT?
Can u tell me how long does it take to walk back on it
Takes a while. Took me a month.
to walk normaly again at least 1 month
I dislocated my knee like three times , my right knee two times, and one time last year my left knee and damn it’s so painful
Just dislocated my knee, just wondering is there certain types of food or supplements I should be taken for for faster recovery
Can you return to sports after surgery and recovery
Mom 87 cant open or shut knee less than 20degrees after artificial knee surgery. Does she need other surger
Dislocated my knee on May 6. So it's almost 4 weeks now since the incident. I'm a former athlete that has not been active for over a year, than decided to challenge a co-worker to a foot race (very stupid of me). During my sprint i collapsed and I saw my kneecap on the lower end of my thigh. Not really any pain, just freaked out. When my job's ERT's stood me up, my kneecap went back into it's socket on it's own. I was able to walk (limping) right after. Swelling has gone down dramatically. But I am not able to lift my lower leg up yet (straight leg lift).
Is this normal? Or does it usually take longer for my knee to get it's strength back for me to do so. If so, what is the typical timeframe?
Love the video too, very informative.
I've dislocated my kneecap over 20 times in the last 2 years but I never saw my patellar move
That sucks :( did the doctor recommend surgery?
I dislocated mine and shifted up a week ago. Dr said 3-4 weeks but I don’t know if that means completely healed
Is your leg heald
Hi, I'm also diagnosed with CP a month ago, it got aggravated after cycling. I've mild pain inwards the knee instead of outwards. Does that mean my knee is dislocated to inwards? Thank you very much.
Hey guys, at school i planted my leg awkwardly, and I felt my knee cap slide out of place. The doctors took x-rays of my knee and they said i have irritated my soft tissue. Are X-Rays accurate, or MRI’s more efficient when trying to determine ones’ injury.
Hey guys, I dislocated my knee last month and have been resting, icing, etc, however I'm currently living in Cambodia and the medical care here is.... lacking... What should I be looking for to self diagnose if I need to leave the country and find a real doctor? I compete in amateur level mixed martial arts, and would like to fast track my recovery as much and as safely as possible so I can get back in the cage, but this injury is terrifying me. It's the worst I've had, but seems to be healing just fine. The joint is tight and feels a bit weak, but I'm slowly regaining mobility. Would there be substantial pain or lack of movement if I was a surgical candidate? Thanks!
hi I dislocated my knee a month ago and then again a week ago do you think I will be looking at surgery I have really bad pain down the inside of my knee
I dislocated my right kneecap twice and tore my mpfl and had to have surgery for that and since then I've subluxated my left kneecap three times, but it hasn't been bad enough that I've gone to the doctor. However I have a constant crippling fear that they will just slip out of place at any time. It's almost like I just have a heightened sense of the ligaments around my kneecap and it just always feels like it could just slip out of place.
Hey guys, I subluxed my kneecap but they only took xrays and said nothing was broke and sent me to PT. I slacked on pt exercises and now in certain athletic movements and squats, my kneecap has extreme pain and cant support my weight. Should I go in to get an MRI to see if I tore something? What should I do? Will the kneecap pain go away after the muscles are strengthened? Thanks!
I had a car accident and that damage my left knee (dislocation??? I'm not to sure I was so young back then) and from recovering my right knee got dislocated in the process too (now both of them get dislocated from time to time)
I'm scared to dance now because I was in a dance club before but I would get dislocation everytime I try to practice dance so I gave up on it, I'm also scared to participate in any kind of sports that may strain my knees (also both of ma knee caps moves like SIDE TO SIDE) is that bad???
I do light swimming and up and down exercise in the stairs to at least strengthen them
Really know nothing bout it and just wanna express how I feel here 😅
If my left kneecap is resting and you hit it to the left of it well push over to the left. This also happens to me when I'm running my kneecap will randomly dislocated to the left, also when I bend it you can clearly see it jump up to the left ...... The running and hiring problem has desolated it for a few seconds many times now it has been happening of 1-1/2 years will I have to get surgery ? If so than what will they do to my left knee to fix it ? Please help
can patellar dislocation eventually lead to patellofemoral pain syndrome if not treated right?
I have a defect with my kneecaps where they pop inwards and outwards and I dont have that groove in my knee and it's happened multiple times in each knee and tore the ligament that holds it in place so I need surgery and can't get it cause my growth plates are open what could I do and I'm a football player
I dislocate my patellar 2months ago while training in volleyball and it's still aching... Shoul I exercise it even if it's 2months before I knew about this video?
My kneecap has popped out 3 times in the past 2-3 years. The first 2 times it went back into place on its on but last weekend at a basketball tournament it popped out and I grabbed my knee and just pushed my kneecap back into place. I am a 13 year old girl playing volleyball and basketball. Do you think I need surgery? How long does recovery from surgery take?
I got mine dislocated a couple days ago as of commenting this
It didnt hurt badly.....until they tried popping it back in without pain meds
All because I was playing pavlov on my quest
Sir I am having now dislocated my knee cap pls tell me the exercise what to do to reduce pain
sir I've been getting these dislocations since 10 years now I'm 17 now I've been to the doctor only once about it a few years ago he suggested some exercises but they didn't help so would it require surgery?
Hey.. Am 20 i just had the kneecap dislocation this morning.. It was scary to see my patella poped out and i was alone..luckily, I managed to hit it back into place.. How long is the pain gonna last? Do i need an exray? Its my 1st time
I’m a 13 year old soccer player, and i have chondromalacia patella in my right knee. 3 weeks ago, i went to soccer practice, we played a game, i was just about to score with my left leg, and my right leg buckled, and i fell down on my right knee. And I dislocated my knee cap. I cryed because i was in so much pain (i don’t usually cry). It popped back in place, when i stretched my leg, and i couldn’t bend my leg for 5 looong days. I went to the doctor’s office the day after, and he didn’t do a thing, so i’m maybe going to the doctor’s again next week.
I only slept for 2 and a half hour that night, because i was in so much pain:/
But i went to soccer practice 9 days later:) and now, i’m wearing a knee brace every day:/
Ahh man. I’m 13 as well and I got mine from a non-contact sport. What makes it worse was I also fractured the top of my tibia. I’ve decided to not do sports again because I don’t want to risk it. You’re a big dawg for sucking the pain.
Same thing happend to me im 14 but the doctors said that i didnt damage any other parts in my knee and i can bend it and already walk on it, i had the injury 3 days ago
Noah okay:)
i couldn’t bend my knee until 1 week after my injury, and it hurt af to step on my foot.
i got a cortisone shot in may this year, to make the pain stop temporarily, cuz they didn’t know what’s wrong with me and that fucking knee hurt so bad.
good luck on your recovery man:) my recovery is almost over, i have my last PT on friday next week:)
ps. if your pain wont go away, go to the doctor’s again, and if it’s really bothering you, get an MRI or something.
Michael Osakwe shit man, good luck on your recovery! the pain got unbearable, so my doc gave me a cortisone shot to get it to stop temporarily.
i was close to not do sports again, but PT has helped a lot, and im allowed to play soccer, but not any kind if contact with other players rn.
good luck man, hope everything turns out well!
Annika Niclasen thank you for the fast reply bro
I have had once on a wet soccer field 40 y. ago and recently in tennis. I figured the unglued part of the sole that I did not repair before I played might have exacerbated the risk as I have been playing for decades and I am healthy and fit. freak accident?
My knee did dislocate for the 3th time now after 6 years of no problems. I'm thinking to do surgery, but after the surgery can it still dislocate?
I have a patella alto and my knee popped out and back in yesterday. It’s swollen and sore now and I’m worried about doing surgery (a recommended TLKR). Ive had arthroscopic surgery on the patella of my right knee, TKR and a revision, scar tissue removal and 2 MUAs and my right knee still isn’t moving right. So the last thing I want to do is have surgery on my only knee I have that’s semi working without surgery to have it in a worse predicament afterwards. I don’t know what to do and my left knee isn’t leaving me with too many options. :(
Great video ! thanks
Help how to get a Surgeon to replace my knee? I have had 7 right knee surgery and has not helped and all doctors stated I do need replacement but they won't. How in the heck do you get one without having a critical trauma happen. Because they say well your age is to young hello I'm 40. Osteoarthritis ,Bersitis, Sacryolic joint Dysfunction. Also have stated I may need hip replacement also since it's really bad. 3 days ago my knee buckled and I've lost count brace doesn't really help. Rehabbing helped but from the trauma of it all I plateaued to maybe %80. My last Surgery was a Autologous Chondrocyte Implantation. Please if anyone knows a Doctor please let me know In the Midwest preferred Thank You,
I'm dislocated my knee pretty bad playing football last friday. this was my first time dislocating my knee and after i got a mri my doctor recommends me getting a surgery replacing my ligament holding my knee.
how long will it take me to walk after the surgery?
how painful is this surgery?
and how long do you think it will take for me to start playing football again?
Thanks
Thank you so much for your time
i just dislocated my keencap two weeks ago but with no fractures or ligaments torn. Now I'm able to walk with a brace, but it hurts to walk without it and I cant bend it fully without pain. is this normal for recovery?
Thank you so much for your videos!
I think that almost all my life I have had patellar issues. For about two years I’ve been practicing yoga and my knees where feeling a lot better. But it was when I tried to do the Lotus Flower position that I did a wrong movement with my knee and since I’ve been having more pain in my knees. Two months ago, same practicing yoga I dislocated my patellar it moved to the inner side. Right now I feel almost good but sometimes when I bend down for something I can feel how the patellar goes out of place again and the pain comes back. What can I do I want to go back to my active life?
Cihuateotl1 I would suggest surgery
me: *playing basketball*
my kneecap: *has left the chat*
Dislocated my knee three weeks ago. Currently doing physio therapy at home - I still can’t lift my leg tho 😭 I’m so scared. Will I need surgery?
This is my second time dislocating my knee paramedics said there was no blood flow
I am one of those with a higher Q -angle. Had mpfl reconstruction surgery 4 weeks ago. Slowly recovering. It's not very encouraging
I dislocated my Patel and I’m gonna start physical therapy now I’m worried about playing basketball do you think I’ll dislocate it again even after physical therapy
I slipped on some ice and it just popped out. This is the third time, but it hasn't happened in about 6 years, and then another 6 years before that.
The best thing to do is to just push it back into place. It will feel painful at first, but oh boy once it's in, huge relief. It will still ache, but nothing like when its out of place. So when this happens just push it back in, and don't try to walk on it, try and get some help.
i’m 13 and i’ve had 2 knee dislocations in the past 2-3 years. worst pain of my life, if it happens again i can’t play field hockey 😭 i actually had to have my coach and teacher reset both times
im 14 i just dislocated my knee for the second time i dont know how to fix it
@@fruitfairy7035 you mean you don’t know how to stop making it dislocate? because for me i’ve been told it’s a possibility i’ll have to do my physical therapy for the rest of my life. or that if it happens again i’ll need surgery. either way, after about three dislocations it’s usually a matter of surgery or constant physical therapy.
@@evelynfields1954 i dont know how to make my knee go back to normal. i cant make it straight or walk on it, and it keeps popping😕
@@fruitfairy7035 when did you last dislocate it? mind you i’m not doctor but i actually know an odd amount of nurses and doctors lol 😅 if your a girl, i would say strengthen the hips as much as possible. especially if you have hip dips. weak hips are much more common for girls and a large factor in knee dislocations. if you mean by popping, like a small shift, then you definitely should talk to a professional about that. but usually about 6 month into my dislocations, i notice that my knee will shift in and out of place slightly, and i can offset this by jerking it in the opposite direction. so if that’s what’s happening to you, do that and just ask a doctor. sry about the long replies but i really want to help, if the dislocation is extremely recent then ur fine, no worries, but let me know when it happened
