My knee seems to have a lot of play in it and seems to be dislocating alot. afterwords it hurts and swells what could be wrong ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Loose ligaments: It is usually caused by a tear of a liament in the knee. There are 4 of them, including the anterior cruciate, which is what you may have done. The other possibility is the knee cap may be partially dislocating ( subluxation).
