I dislocated my knee on the job August of last year. I supposedly did not tear anything and it was just a dislocation and the knee popped into place on its own right away. I had exercises to do at home and was not cleared for work for 2 months. @ years prior to this I tore my MCL ( 3rd degree tear) on the same knee. It has almost been a year since my dislocation and my knee hurts all the time and it even swells up. Granted I do concrete work soI am constantly bending and lifting heavy objects, but should my knee still be like this to this day????? It hurts almost as much as it did when I dislocated it!!!!

HELP!!!!!! PS I wear a knee brace EVERY DAY!!!!

Hiya, iv bin suffering from knee dislocations since b4 my teens and am still suffering now i am 19. I kno how painful it is as i put up with it everyday in both my knees, and i wear tubigrips on both legs every day!!!All i can tell you is that your knee is probably weaker bcoz you damaged it wen it dislocated, so its more prone to damage and will get sore quickly. Have you only dislocated your knee the once?
