I've dislocated my left knee 8 times since December 2020. Yes, you read that right. 8 times.
As a volleyball player, specifically one who is a libero (defense specialist), I can't even tell you how hard the mental game of knee dislocations is.
I just dislocated my left knee yesterday, and am currently on a cast. I understand everything that you're saying and I really resonated with it. It slowly kicked in that I won't be able to do the things I loved (dancing) as much or as hard as I used to and I started tearing up. I really hope you're much better and everything goes upwards in your life now!
I dislocated mine on september 2023 but luckily it came back to its place instantly. I did 15 sessions of physiotherapy and now I'm starting rehabilitation to be able to go the gym safely. In all this time I did my life as normal, went to classes, ran, went clubbing. But one thing is for sure, once this happens you are terrorized for life 😩
Bruhh how are you any tips for me ??? My knee dislocated yesterday . How much it took you to walk ? What things you still can't do?
Around 2 weeks ago I dislocated my knee Twice In one day let me tell you, I’ve never been in so much pain and I just wanna get up and walk but my knee hurts so much :/
Bruhh how are you any tips for me ??? My knee dislocated yesterday . How much it took you to walk ? What things you still can't do?
Dislocated mine last week. How you doing now?
One of my client have recurrent patella dislocation condition. I've been training with her for more than 10 years and still training with her. In all that years she only dislocated 1 time and it was the time when I was absent from training with her for some time. As of now she's very active with exercise and surfing, hiking etc. Alhamdulillah
Thank you for sharing your thoughts so candidly. I am 51 and had my first dislocation when I was in 5th grade. Over the course of my life have suffered 8 dislocations and it never gets easier. The recovery is harder mentally than physically. It throws you back years. My last dislocation was two and a half years ago and am still struggling to recover. Trauma and fear are two Herculean things to get past.
Go girl! Thank you for sharing your journey! I have a 3rd time dislocation too and I relate so much to your first clips as I have cried about it today. Glad to see you going back to netball and gym. Hoping I could do the same with badminton and working out in a few weeks/months after therapy too!
Yes girl you've got this 100%
I dislocated my knee a few days ago and I found this video, which helps, knowing there's other people with specific problems like my own. I've dislocated my left knee 29 for awhile now, and my right knee 4 times, I found out my knees were mis aligned by birth, from my mother. I love being active, and so since this started years ago. It's just constant fear and worry that it will pop out. It's like I can't do anything fun anymore because I'm scared it will dislocate. I'm sure yall feel the same way
God damn 4 times? I;ve only dislocated once and it was the worst pain ever, im currently 3 months post op. Is it true with each dislocation the pain hurts less and less? or is it more or less the same
i dislocated mine 2wks ago it hurts so bad
@@SasiKumar-ex2ss it will get easier and it will pass
@@ComplexPersonaMK i felt like the 2nd time it dislocated I thought I didn’t hurt as much

Thanks so much for taking the time to do this video for both yourself and others, that was pretty selfless.. My daughter dislocated her knee when one of the family dogs collided with her knee. She’s on day five now and seems a little behind you in terms of progress.. We’re off to Majorca on Saturday so this is a royal pain!. Thanks again 🙏
I dislocated my right knee 6 weeks ago and still can't walk without crutches. I took my dog to the park and she was running around with 3 other dogs and they ran into me dislocating my patella. It's so painful and frustrating not being able to do the things you love. Can your daughter walk without crutches now?
@@anonymousw1939 nope, but she’s on one crutch now but has been told she’ll be in a hinged brace (full leg length) for another four weeks. She has made progress but very slow
I literally also dislocated my kneecap on september 11th 2021. After thousands of dislocations I finally had 2 knee surgeries, a tibial tubercle transfer and MPFL reconstruction.
Hey Lily, I've been dislocating both my knees since forever, probably since I was 8. it's sucks cause you don't know when its going to happen and you cannot prevent it. I've also been dancing my whole life, knee guards don't help that much. I've started dancing again recently and anxiety is hitting right back. Have you looked into good doctors, or possible surgeries?
Like others are saying thank you so much for this video because i related to everything! Had my first dislocation in Feb on my way to the gym :/ and it was the worst pain (I've heard worse than pregnancy) but now I'm back at the gym finally since end of April and seeing the light getting stronger each week.
the shower thing i felt to my core, my first shower (with garbage bag) was so traumatic and scary i almost didn't wanna do it again. Not to mention some days during recovery your knee randomly starts clicking or locking which just kills your mood, luckily mine stopped!
I hope you a crushing the gym as its my place of happiness as well and often times when i don't want to go i remember when i couldn't, best of luck with never getting a 4th. otherwise surgery and that's a whole year smh
Bruh thank you so much I just got my knee dislocated yesterday and the muscle around it randomly starts flickering and clicking randomly I am just 17 and I was just standing and it got dislocated . Will I able to walk run and ride a cycle again?
@AjinkyaCOC yes bro I am doing everything fine again. I am 100% recovered just do the exercises the physiotherapist tells you
I’ve been down for a month and am slowly starting to walk again but not without help. It’s driving me mad. I don’t sit still well. I fear this another dislocation so I’m babying it, fear almost too much. I too lost my appetite.
It took… 3 months for doctors to tell me I dislocated my kneecap but it was the pop out and back in kind… during those months, to start off I got fobbed off in A&E by a doctor who assumed I was faking it I even had X-rays done and was told it was all normal… I left the place taking one crutch with me…
I treat this injury as my usual injury which happened a lot when I was younger but just felt all batter within a few days or a week tops.. but after 3 weeks I still wasn’t right and I felt a bit in a way asking myself “is this all in my head?” Because I was asked in A&E if I was just telling myself I couldn’t walk but then I asked “is there something else going on??” I went to a musculoskeletal thinking this was probably ligament thing but when I got there the doctor saw in my X-ray it was not normal! Calcification I’m the joints and possibly a fracture… she couldnt do much for me and sent me to orthopaedics, my knee was examined but me being in pain and squeamish of people touching my knees I was sent for an urgent MRI but was given a brace to wear to help me walk… after my MRI I waited over a month for my results and that’s when I was told it was dislocated and because I had a brace I didn’t need on my knee had some muscle waste so now I gotta do a fuck tone of physio to get my knee functioning again… it’s super hard… I’m back to hobbling/non weight bare on two crutches cos my whole leg is like spaghetti leg since ditching my brace
It feels amazing knowing someone can relate! I had my VERY first and hopefully my last dislocation 2 weeks ago. I faint when I have to take it off to shower😂 it’s so hard to forget and to not worry, I’m 2 weeks in and don’t use crutches and I can wobble around with my brace on! Honestly it was hard and a struggle to find confidence but I’m exited to heal. This has taught me to BE MORE CAREFUL W MYSELF!! Anyone reading look for exercises they HELPED me so much and really gave me confidence in myself we will be fine and just take time to focus on you mind (PTSD, trauma from it)! I’m so scared it will happen again but ik I’ll be fine!
Bruhh how are you any tips for me ??? My knee dislocated yesterday . How much it took you to walk ? What things you still can't do? Did it happened again
This is my fifth time dislocating my left knee(patella). The first time was during the last semester of 8th grade. It is VERY depressing to not be NORMAL AGAIN. I used to sit on the bleachers by myself while everyone had fun playing… I felt isolated, and basically alone. You don’t really realize how important something is until you lose it… The ORTHOPEDIC recommended SURGERY. I don’t know what I should do… Either get surgery or go into physical therapy, but physical therapy won’t help in the long run from arthritis. Even now when I walk long distances there’s this burn in my knee. What should I do?
The first time you dislocated your knee did it last longer cause I just dislocated my knee cap and torn one of my ligaments a week ago and I can’t move my knee to much AT ALL
Good Bless You My Sister ❤️🥹
I'm experiencing the same thing right now, I dislocated my knee cap for the third time after having the 2nd time last 3 years. It so freaking frustrating, simple movements hurt so much that I just don't know what to do anymore😭😭😭😭😭
Thank you so much for this video I really needed this❤️🥺. This is my 4th dislocation and it hasn’t happened in 4 years so I thought I was done with it. I stepped the wrong way when I got out of bed and fell to the ground luckily after 10 seconds it went back in place but I’m extremely sore and got it checked out and I tore a part of my MCL. Did you tear anything in your knee? Or was it just a dislocation?
In so sorry to hear this! I was exactly the same with it being 4 years since it happened and I was GUTTED! Always the silly things too. Thankfully mine was just a dislocation and no further complications but I wish you the best xx
Just experienced my first dislocation 1 month ago. Back to being able to limp walk a few meters and bearing weight on it. Still struggling with bending it past 90 degrees though. Question though: do you wear a knee brace now when doing things such as heavy leg workouts or when running?
Thank you for posting this vlog btw! It really helps to know that I’m not alone in all this. It’s been mentally taxing for me as I’m one who loves to be active and outdoors. Glad to see it gets better eventually.
Bruhh how are you any tips for me ??? My knee dislocated yesterday . How much it took you to walk ? What things you still can't do?
I dislocated my knee also and how long does it usually take to heal?
A dislocated knee usually involves some ligament tear or maybe other soft connective structure in the knee involved. Don't you know if you tore something there in the knee? O.O I have watched some of your recent gym videos and the ROM you had in that knee and the variety of exercises you are able to do is amazing.
Hey, I didn’t tear anything I was lucky in that sense!
@@lilyflorencefitness Hi. So happy for you for not tearing anything 😁.
I never related so much in the first half of the vid. I’m a student athlete( volleyball and track) and I also LOVE the gym. It was the source of my confidence and self identify. This is now week three after my dislocation and I finally started physiotherapy. Seeing you get back the gym and normal life really inspires me and reassures me of my recovery. Thanks for this video!!🤍
I'm so happy you found this helpful!I'm sorry you dislocated your knee it's honestly the worse but you've got this!!
Bruhh how are you any tips for me ??? My knee dislocated yesterday . How much it took you to walk ? What things you still can't do?
@@AjinkyaCOC Omg hi! Im glad you asked :) It’s been about 2 years since the incident and though I still have difficulties with my knees, im back to doing normal things such as weightlifting. Looking back I think I struggled the most with consistency and patience. You must listen to your body especially when eventually begin therapy. Don’t push yourself too hard! And do your workouts!!!!!!!!! Oh and also stay stretched. It’ll prevent another dislocation! Anyway, I’m sorry to hear about your injury. I hope you get back to you soon! Peace and love
@@eva-km7ge wow so are you confident enough to ride bicycle and run ?
@@AjinkyaCOC mm i choose not to run because that so the incident happened😅 but you probably can eventually :p
I dislocated my knee Saturday for the second time. It is for sure depressing now that i cant go to the gym or do anything i had planned for the summer.
I'm so sorry this is awful! my second Time was right before summer and I think the brace in the heat is the worst thing!! Think of June as a recovery month and you should be back walking ready for July and august hopefully to enjoy some of summer
@@lilyflorencefitness thank you! This time around i will be doing a lot of chryotherapy to help my whole body as well as my injured knee.
wow tysm for this video!
How’s your knee doing ??
Thank you so much ❤️ ur journey has given me new hope n motivation. FYI it's my first time for me n currently in 1st week of recovery; didn't require surgery just a little help from the doc. I hope to get healed soon
I'm so sorry this happened to you! good news about no surgery but the first time is so bad. you'll smash the recovery I'm sure :)
You will get through this! I'm 3 months post my first kneecap dislocation and it was the worst time of my life; so many ups and downs but the light will come eventually! if your on the wild side search up bcp157 and tb500 it helped me and my recovery a ton! you WILL get back to your former self, everything comes in waves but the tide will eventually settle, remember that!
Bruhh how are you any tips for me ??? My knee dislocated yesterday . How much it took you to walk ? What things you still can't do?
I feel every ounce of your pain
I've dislocated my knee three times as well. Want to know the last time I dislocated it? Just now. And me and my boyfriend spend over 1000 bucks on the vacation I am currently on and it hasn't even started we just got here yesterday
My 12 yr old daughter dislocated her knee in a rugby league game 1 week ago.
I dislocated my left knee yesterday night 😢 I’ll go to hospital tomorrow i dont know what to expect
how long did it take you to get back to lifting heavy? it's been 3 months since my dislocating and I can't get myself to even do more than 10 pounds on a leg extension because I'm so worried
Bruhh how are you any tips for me ??? My knee dislocated yesterday . How much it took you to walk ? What things you still can't do?
Hi, yesterday I just dislocated my left knee by trying to sit down in a weird position but it actually ended up popping back into place 😭. I’m not even athletic or anything but it was the worst pain of my entire life. I’m now in a brace and using crutches for recovery.
Omg I dislocated my left knee sitting down weird about 3 weeks ago! I was in little kid chairs and twisted weird trying to get a pin off the floor. It hurts so bad I can’t wait to walk again it’s my second time! I feel you girl 😓✨🤙🏽
MT BIRTHDAY IS ALSO SEPT 18 AND MY KNEE DISCLOCATED BEFORE MY BURTHDAY!! I
I've done it 5 times and had surgery it took 2 and a half months to get back to work
Hi! I dislocated my knee at school walking up stairs. Then two months later, after just recovering my other knee dislocated while swimming. This is so awful with feeling that I wont get better.
Bruhh how are you any tips for me ??? My knee dislocated yesterday . How much it took you to walk ? What things you still can't do?
@AjinkyaCOC I've gone and done it 9 times now....just please do physio....otherwise it could get worse. Trust me from experience
@@hifriends579 k bro it's really traumatising 😖🫡
I dislocated my knee about 15 times already and I might have to have surgery
I dislocated my knee yesterday for the first time. I was at work and I bent over at a funny angle, it popped back in when I rolled over. I’m so scared I’m not gonna be able to walk for ages. I’m a manager in a restaurant so it’s a very manual job, I’m worried my career is affected. Your video is lovely, it’s lonely when you can’t do anything or walk anywhere. You’re so grown up for your age x
Bruhh how are you any tips for me ??? My knee dislocated yesterday . How much it took you to walk ? What things you still can't do?
@@AjinkyaCOCive dislocated my knee 4 times, just be careful not to plant your feet and shift. And also, do rehab!! Thats what i regret. Im on my 4th dislocated knee right now and im contemplating life 🥲 make sure you use the RICE technique ; “rest, ice , compression, elevation”. And make sure you dont have your leg compressed constantly because that will prolongue you getting better. Also, crutches help A LOTTTTT.
@@Kail4 dude have you done MRI and CT scan 💀?
@@Kail4 and tell me how your first dislocation occurred? Cause after my MRI and CT scan reports came it stated that I have 3-4 knee disorders and complications all together so it caused my knee cap to dislocate while I was standing as you told I was just standing planting feet and just suddenly moved forward
@@AjinkyaCOC nah i dont got insurance 🥲 but the first tike i did, and they told me that there was no issues and they sent me to an orthopedic where they told me it popped out and went back in.
hi, my daughter's right knee cap got dislocated during her P.E. class at school last Oct.6,2022. She was rushed to the ER to put it back. Now she is wearing a knee brace since the freak accident plus she's using crutches too. And now I observed that her whole leg got swollen. Is it normal? she will see the Orthopedic doctor this tuesday
My knee/ leg did get swollen due to the inflammation from the knee but I definitely recommend seeing a doctor to confirm it’s nothing serious! I hope she’s okay it’s awful :(
@@lilyflorencefitness thanks! yes, she has an appointment with the orthopedics tomorrow at 1pm at one of the Children's hospital near our home.
I managed to dislocate my right kneecap on Easter Sunday 2019, it was absolutely brutal
I feel your pain
If this makes you feel better I dislocated mine while turning my knee in a weird position while getting out of a car and with the second time I was arguing with my brother and slipped FFS 🤦♂️ now I have developed an extreme fear of falling down stairs and I feel like I may never recover :( can anyone relate or give me some advice to try and prevent it from happening again? I also feel like the psychological pain and worry is so much worse than my physical recovery as it holds me back so much
haha I'd be more annoyed it meant my sibling would win the argument!! But yh the psychological side of it is defiantly the hardest and it never will fully go away but gets better with time. I recommend doing knee exercise's in the gym and doing single leg work. Hope you get better soon
Literally going through this right now - it’s my day 6! 😞
5 weeks in still can’t bend properly nor walk without crutches 🙂I am DYING
U had ur scan ?
I disclocated my right kneecap in September 2021 and after 6 months i disclocated my left kneecap for 3rd time
this sounds horrible i hope you're okay!
what she was saying about the gym. i have problems with my knee and cannot walk properly, i still go to the gym and do upper body its not what i used to do and everyone is different but that has helped me with still doing something i love, hope that helped...
currently recovering from a dislocated knee and broken foot both opposite of each other. its been 3 weeks since it happened and walking is not an option for me till my broken foot is healed. even standing is really really difficult.
