Patella dislocation

[stargazer]

I dislocated my kneecap over 3 weeks ago and have been in a full stabilizing leg brace since that time. My knee will NOT bend at all. When should I begin physio? I'm waiting to see an orthopedic doctor but this may take up to one year. I'm worried I'll never bend my knee again! Anyone with similar problems?

hey,

4 months ago i dislocated my patella playing football for the first 3 months i was in a cast and a splint and a month ago i started physio and hydrotherepy.

When i did it i couldnt bend my knee at all but luckily for me i was able to see the orthopedic doctors who referred me to physio.

It still hurts now as ive started running but dont worry make sure you see a doctor or private physio because the longer you cant bend it the worse it will be.

good luck
