A few days ago I seemed to dislocate my knee. I was bending at a funny angle to put a very heavy casserole dish in a drawer…and my knee just kind of popped out to the side. It felt weird, kind of painful, but by no means agonising.
Anyway…that night, it was painful even when I was horizontal in my bed. The next morning the pain seemed to have faded and I could walk as normal. But bending my knee was painful. Anyway, it has been five days now…and my knee keeps popping again.
I have been told to go to see my GP, but I am working right up until I go away, so I won’t have chance to. Someone told me that I need a practitioner to manipulate my knee. I am normally wary of manipulators, manipulation, someone manipulating me, but in this case, it sounds wonderful.
They are right. Get someone to look at your knee because it may damage your cartilage, the dislocation.

I called my doctor before I went away, and I couldn’t get an appointment for a whole week. So, when I was up in Wales, some of the medical members of my family looked at my knee.

Thank you. There is no pain at all. But it still doesn’t feel right. Still, it didn’t stop me from dancing and running around with all the little ones in our family.

Patellar dislocation or subluxation (partial dislocation) is generally managed with physiotherapy.

It’s not painful at all now, but still feels funny. We have two physiotherapists in the family. They both looked at my knee and prodded me. But it still feels weird. Just not at all painful.

I think we call them chiropractors here, but it might help. As long as they have a medical degree, be careful

I think I am noticing it most when I walk uphill. It’s hard to avoid walking up hills in Snowdonia!

Good luck with it. I had a R knee replacement, now years later wish I had them both done 😳😊

Maybe you need an X-ray to check it out?

Oh dear, I think you do need to see a doctor about it or you might cause permanent damage to the knee.

I couldn’t get an appointment in London, so when I was up in Wales, one of my siblings who is a doctor looked at my knee as did two of the physiotherapists in my family. There is no pain at all, but my knee does feel a bit strange.

In the end I had a few of my family look at it for me (one is a doctor, two are physiotherapists) but my knee still feels odd. But there is no pain at all.

Would see a doctor before anyone works on it. When I did my knee the Dr basically said rest it until it was scanned.

I couldn’t get an appointment before I left London, so up in London, three of the medical members of our family looked at my knee. Still feels strange though despite their proddings.
