Subject: Kneecap dislocation
Hi friends,

This is going to be my first post here and I'm in need of some useful suggestion from everyone. Last month while during my routine jogging, I experienced a pain in my right knee cap and suddenly I fell down. When I tried to stand up, I couldn't even force my legs to get support. I was screaming due to the pain around my knee cap. Luckily I have my friend with me and he made me stood up, even though I was experiencing severe pain, I somehow managed to stand up. He took me to my physio in Mississauga( http://www.physionow.ca/) and had a quick assessment on my knee. After the assessment he told me that the pain was due to a slight dislocation in my kneecap. He helped me to relocate the kneecap. But I don't know is it safe to start running again? or How long should I wait to start my workouts?

It sounds like something you should ask your PT or doc.

FWIW, I partially dislocated my knee cap playing football many years ago.   I iced it down for a couple of days followed by a couple of days of easy jogging.

I still have some tracking problems with it on occasion, but find it helps to wear a patella tendon strap below my knee on training runs.

I have several years of pain behind both kneecaps that I had diagnosed as chondromalacia, or patella femoral syndrome. Rest has helped, but I'm wondering if surgery offers a more full recovery.

My right knee has a pain in the front, just below the kneecap. I walked 24 miles of IM Louisville. No pain while walking but it started immediately when trying to run.

Since my last marathon (October, 2007), the area below my right kneecap towards the outside of my leg (but not the ITB) aches every time I run, especially afterwards.
