A member asked:
I dislocated my knee cap 6 weeks ago. this was the 7th time. i have been experiencing a lot of pain on the inside of my knee. is this normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Patellar dislocation: No, not normal to dislocate your patella. Also, the pain implies some damage to the soft tissue as well, likely medial patellofemoral ligament tearing. You may also have some cartilage damage as well. Check with your orthopedic surgeon.
