Knee dislocation and how to keep it back in place when fully recovered.

Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here... Hello my left knee was dislocated about 7 months ago and I am still having it slip in and out of socked at random times.I still cant jog,run,or completely straighten it out without pain.I am 6ft 4in 205pds if that means anything i am not sure. Ive never broke that knee and i allowed plenty of time for it to heal and I do stretches while on my prescribed anti inflammatory and pain killer. I just want to be able to run again and i cant even move fast without it falling out of place. please help me thank you.

If want to be able to run again, it is always better to meet an expert, in this case an Orthopedician. If at all what you are saying(frequently dislocating knee) turns out to be true, then you will need nothing short of a surgery. Before any Doctor decides on surgery, they will do a proper assessment with an MRI.

Hi, after reading your complaints, i think your the ligaments inside and around the knee had torn. For this you need to be completely examined by an orthopaedic surgeon. You may also need to undergo few investigations. In case you may require surgical correction.
