Ouch: These are very painful injuries. Pushing the cap back can be extremely painful, but if it's back, you need to ice it. Keep you leg elevated. Treatment of this injury can be involved, as to prevent further dislocations. You will need to follow up with an orthopedic specialist for treatment and therapy. If the pain does not reduce, you may need a visit to a urgent care or emergency room. Crutches.
