Tips for Dealing with a Frequent Knee Dislocation

Following! I seriously hurt my knee for the first time 8 weeks ago (it hyperextended when I got up from my chair and has been unstable and painful since). Sometimes when I walk it feels like my knee catches on something. Not sure if that's my kneecap subluxing or my meniscus doing weird things or something else entirely. I'm not hEDS btw, prob just HSD.

Wraps & braces are great. But, as best you can, build the muscle around the knee. With us hEDS, musculoskeletal stability is your friend! If we don't stabilize, and only brace, we are weakening the muscle even more, causing more instability in the joint. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️🤗

I use hinged knee bracees & crutches/ powerchair

Like other people have said, taping and braces are my fav, but with the braces I would look to find one that specifically has a kneecap position type piece (if that makes sense, it's usually for patellar tracking disorders). I got some and they have been so much more helpful than my other more generic ones!

Wraps and braces. My second recommendation is Physical Therapy. Slowly start strengthening the muscles to keep the joint in place because our ligaments won’t.

Braces, keeping it in one position, weight off it
