I just got back from PT! Once again I am in more pain than when I walked in to Excel. My kneecap is still tilted and twisted- due to the extreme tightness of the outside lateral (side of knee) muscles and ligaments and weakness on the inside of my knee. Once again Cam taped my knee to try and stabilize it until I see Dr. Shiple tomorrow. My knee is becoming increasingly more unstable and it has subluxed several times. If this continues I am setting myself up for cartilage damage which is something I could really do without!
This picture displays the various positions of the patella-(from left to right)
Figure 1- normal tracking and positioning
Figure 2- tilted patella-possible subluxation **ME**
