Is it normal to be able to move your knee cap side to side? got dragged across the road fhe other day & scraped my knees up pretty badly &was just trying to see if the side to side movement was normal or not?

In some positions it is normal. If the side/side movement triggers pain it is reasonable to have your doc check it out. If not, just take care of your scrapes and it should be fine. You can always discuss it when you go in for another reason.
