So far it has happened to me twice.
The first time was during gym class. I bent over to pick up a ball, and must have kicked my knee out to the side. It popped out and hurt so bad! Trying to move the leg was extreme pain. The gym teacher didn't know what to do, so I had to goto the hospital. By the time I arrived at the hospital, a lot of muscle died off. I had to have the blood sucked out, and they put me in a brace. I didn't move it for a few weeks. All of this made it very hard for me to get back to normal. It was a chore just to move my knee under my own power at first, and it took me about 4 years to finally get back to normal.
Then back about a year ago, I jumped on my bed and it popped out again. Thankfully, I was on the bed and didn't collapse to the ground this time. It also popped back in, and didn't hurt bad. For the next week or so it felt strange, but it went back to normal within the next week or two. I am so thankful it wasn't like the first time!
Doctor said if it ever happens again, just try and pop it back in. (Shudder)
Still, once in a while I can feel a strange feeling in my knee as if I almost over did it. I always have to be conscious of how I bend over, lie down, or stand up. I no longer have the confidence to do sports like Akaido or whatnot. :sigh:
Just the way my knee is shaped. ~_~

The i did it sitting down the second time, it popped back in and i went for an xray, really worked hard on physio and it was ok until now. Thought it wasnt gonna happen again, always, now, subconsiously thinking about how i stand and sit, but i had just come off of my bike, and i just wanted to get up, like you do just like when you fall over in public, and i just didnt think about it, just got up, from a funny position, and popped it out, and while standing on one leg, popped it back in, picked up my bike and walked off. Tempted fate really, the mate i was with has done it 5 times, and we were talking about it at his an hour before
