so i popped my patella in my left knee.. i was giving a mobilizar brace and cruthes to get around.. then i had a follow up appt w/ an ortho. who upgraded me to a patella brace to push the knee in and 6 weeks physical therapy to see if this helps. if this doesnt work then i will have to have surgery.. but my concern is say the therapy does help whats to say this will not happen again and how can i prevent more damage to the knee??.. the doc said the grooves which my knee sits on is not deep enough so its causes the knee to pull out.. i am big women 25yrs old with past history of knee injury to my r knee 10-12 yrs back.. i was suppost to have surgery on that knee but i was to scared and now im tring to do all i can to make things better(losing weight) because it still comes out once in a while(r knee) and i was told ive torn all ligaments inthe right knee and surgery is my best bet.. and i have been using a cane as well as the brace to get around but im getting pain in my foot .......
