Dislocated Patella: Probably you had a dislocated knee cap.... have you had it before? It might take 2-4 weeks before it settles You should avoid sport and get it checked out by your doctor for proper assessment and management

Patella dislocation: This is relatively common condition. It can be quite painful and after it is reduced will be sore for a while. A knee immobilizer and physiotherapy can help with the pain and help with recovery. Anti-inflammatories can help with the pain also. You should see your doctor to evaluate the strength of you ligaments and an xray may help.
