1. It's probably raining or will rain tomorrow. Pressure cause by precipitation can cause that.2. go see a doctor and/or physiotherapist
3. A patella stabilizer brace helps. Also exercises to strengthen your quad muscle to help stabilize your knee.
4. If you did not do any physical therapy you could still be hurt. If you're concerned go to the doctor they might have to do surgery on it. Also ask about physical therapy because even a year later it'd still do some good.
5. You may have a chronically dislocating patella (kneecap). As you walk around, run, or otherwise use your knee, the patella slides back and forth in a groove on your femur. If it dislocates, it isn't staying in the groove.
If it doesn't ride just correctly in the groove, it can still give you pain (even if it does not dislocate). This can be a subtle problem, something an unexperienced person can't discern by looking at the knee.
Your best bet is to get with a physcial therapist who has experience with knee patients. Go to APTA.org, click on "find a PT", and search your home area. You may want one who is board-certified in either orthopedic or sports PT (OCS or SCS after their name). They can help you get to the bottom of this problem, and strengthen your knee safely to prevent re-occurence.
A word of caution: it is a BAD idea to sit on this problem and hope it will go away. Biomechanical problems left to themselves tend to go from bad to worse.
Good luck!
6. I just slightly dislocated my knee cap, and is kept reoccuring, and I was diagnose with Patella Chondromalacia, and Patellar Tracking Disorder. Ask your doctorabout these.
Although my problem was their since birth, but didnt bother me until I fell, you may have the same problem.
7. Knee Pains is something that over 50 million americans experience and they think the only way to handle it is toughing it out, or putting ice and hot packs on it with a dose of pain killer. However you can strengthen and loosen up the pain in your knee.
Increasing your intake of Glucosamin Chondriton, decreasing your sugar intake, and following certain exercises and stretches at least 3-4 times a week.
