Speaking of bum knees...
I discloated my right knee tonight again for the 8th time in about 2.5 years.
Has anyone else experienced this problem? Its really frustrating. Hurts like hell and puts me out of action for anywhere from a few weeks to 6 months depending on how badly I do it. The problem lies with a weak/damaged patella so the knee doesn' t hold in place very well. I have a patella-stabilizing brace which I wear for any activity, I've gone through pysio and exercise the knee regularly. Still it keeps on happening. I'm way to young to have to stop playing sports but its getting to the point where I'm seriously considering quitting some of the sports I do play.
Anyone else had this problem...any advice? (besides see your doctor - been there, done that)
Sorry to hijak the thread.

Yes! I've dislocated my knees probably 4 times in 6 years... twice almost doing nothing (Tripped on my damn cat, and lost my balance on a swing at the driving range) It sucks for sure, you never know when they're going to go.
Have your knee's popped on you with the brace on?? I want one but don't want to spend the $50 if they aren't all that effective.
I'm only 21 btw...
