Recurrent pain: See a podiatrist and get an xray to rule out a possible fracture of the ankle secondary to trauma

A member asked:

My knee patella dislocated at 10 years old. It only happened once a year. Now I'm 16 and it still happens much more often. Something as simple as sitting up could cause it to dislocate. My doctor said it's nothing and that was a couple of years ago?
