Dislocated Patella - Trampolining :(

[Tristan_Mei-Ling]

thankyou for your comments .... yeh i want to get it moving too. it been 3 weeks and i still cant put weight on it, or bend it....im terrifyed !! ...and yeh i have hypermobility anyway, and my elbows and knees both over-extned and iv dislocated both elbow and now knee ! that mite not have anything to do with it but....

a sports physio ?...hmm they dont come on the NHS do they ?....well my gymnastics coach is a senior physio soo hopefully she should know what to do with me ! problem is i wont be seing her till i go back to gym which according to her is never .....

....iv read on the internet that you can opt for surgical repair if your a sports person ? to lesson the likelyhood of it happening again... is this true ? if so how do i go about it ? .... i just get the feeling this isnt quite healing right, i've broken ankles like 5 times and popped my elbow twice and ive always been rather quick recovery ! but this just feels like its not healing correctly, the swelling has gone down, but it looks completely different from my other knee, at the bottom where the patella kind of joins to my shin, theres a large lump of what feels like bone, and its definitly not on the other knee! and the skin on that part is a strange yellow color ...and its scarring me !!....does anybody have any insight to what that could be ???..................thanks again for any comments

hi again,

hmm... go see someone. see a physio under NHS and see what they can do for you. it may be worth paying for a once off private sports physio opinion too but it sounds like a proper physical examination is required.

rite , here i am like almost 8 months down the line following my injury and its not looking good. aparently the 12 weeks and back to sport rule isnt working with me. because i still cant use my knee properly !!! . it keeps partially dislocating if i slightly tilt the knee at an angle ! ... and i still cant put any weight through a bent leg as the knee just buckles and yep u guessed it begins to slide the patella out to the side !! AHHHH , so iv had an mri scan and there doing an arthroscopy ( i think thats what it called ) ,,, to repair or take out any damage.... iv heard people talking about recurrent dislocations , this doesnt sound good , 8 months ive been out of competition !! its completely ruined my competing year !! .. so like if it dislocates again ... will this still hurt ? or will it just be like oh its out ill just push it back in kinda thing ?

if only i could turn back the time and not try having a conversation to my mates whilst practising my routine on the stuipidly pingy trampoline !!!.
