I have never done it, but my advice would be to use crutches at first, to build up your strength, and then start walking(I know you already are walking but still)and do stretches twice a day.
Good luck!
i can dislocate and relocate mine sometimes. it grosses me out, but to get out of stick situations, i sometimes have to.
All dislocations are different. Use RICE... rest, ice, compression and elevation. Your knee will likely discolor as the blood pools to the lowest segment. Compression wraps and ace bandages can hold down the swelling. NSAIDS can help with the pain. After a couple of days you can put some weight on it. Do the alphabet with your knee to move it thru the range of motion. If you don't improve consistently, then see your doctor. you need crutches, a bandage, ice and rest.
On the flipside, get well soon.
