I dislocated my knee about two months ago, and i have been doing physical therapy for 6 weeks now. I can bend my knee 138 degrees, and 140 is normal for my knee. but there is still some swelling that occurs after increased activity, and i still, cannot run. I have also experienced a partial dislocation, which is where the kneecap goes out, and pops right back in. By now, people with dislocations are doing much better than me. So my doctor/surgeon suggested a surgery where they would first scope my knee, then tighten and loosen the tendons so that my knee will not dislocate. they would also remove a piece of my bone to align another tendon so that it prevents my knee from dislocating. but it will take 4 1/2 moths to recover. should i do it or not????
