15 Year Old Getting Severe Pain In The Knee. Has A Dislocated Knee With Knee Cap Placement. Anything Can Be Done?
Hi I'm 15 when I was 13 my knee dislocated from doing a standard jump since then I've had an operation as part of knee cap sheared off. But when ever i crouch down I get a really bad pain and have to move to a different position my knee also gives away a lot and quite often tries to dislocate I'm a keen football player so this type of injury is rather annoying. Do you know why it keeps doling these things and what I can do to try and help my knee? Thank you

Dear user,
I am sorry but yes, problems with the knee joint take years and years to heal, and sometimes, they don't heal completely. So, you need to go easy on those twisty football moments, and check if your doctors have any more treatments to offer you. Else, you might have to give up football altogether.
