My injured knee cap, need some advise?!
Question: ok, well it has been 2 years since my first knee cap dislocation, and it has popped out twice last year, and my knee cap has been feeling lose ever since. I am limited on my actions at this time, i can't jump, jog, or even kneel. It seems as if i might need surgery. I can't really see a doctor for awhile since i moved, anyone here an expert on the patella? Or any options i can do besides an operation?

if u dont want to or cant(for whatever reason) have surgery right now then the best thing to do is try and get a perscrition for PT and work on strengthening ur quads and hamstrings so that ur muscles will be able to compensate for the lack of strength of the ligaments and tendon holding ur patella in place...
but if that doesn't work then im afraid that surgery may be ur only option
best of luck
You need to see an orthopedic doctor for evaluation.
