See OrthopedicMDasap: I think you need to make an appointment with an Orthooedic Specialist as soon as possible as your knee is unstable.Keep the brace on and use crutches till you see the specialist of go to nearest ER as you may have severe ligament injury.. Make sure you have feeling of touch and pain in the leg below the knee and normal circulation .Do not take any chances as you should have consulted ortho earlier

Ouch!: I'm assuming you mean the kneecap (patella) that's popping out of place. That's fairly common, but the other parts of the knee joint should not do that. When this happens, the back of the patella can scrape against bone incorrectly and become inflamed. If you're not already under care for this, a physical therapist is the best bet to improve. Visit your primary care doc for eval/referral.
