Suggest Treatment For Pain In Knee After Dislocation

What causes my knee to dislocate while I m sleeping. It has happened several times over a few years. It is extremely painful and sometimes hard to get back in place. The next few days are very uncomfortable to walk. It s the inside of my right knee where the pain is intense but there is a strong tingle further down on my shin. Any info would help.
