Kneecap dislocation... Need advice on upcoming sports. Please help!?!


Question: Kneecap dislocation!.!.!. Need advice on upcoming sports!. Please help!!?
Today I was warming up on a soccer field for plyometrics (jumping exercises to help the quick twitch muscle) and as I was doing the grapevine (cross over your legs going sideways, and then cross over again) my knee cap dislocated entirely for about one or two second and popped back into place!. (called patella subluxation)!. I am in some pain, and have been icing and elevating my knee for the past one or two hours !. It is slightly swollen, but not completely awful!.
Here is my dilemma: I have a rather expensive upcoming volleyball tournament, that starts on Sunday, where I will be playing volleyball for hours each day for a week!. Do you think I can play!?!?!?
Thank you so much!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
I dislocated my knee roughly 18 times since i was 13!. It started with sports, and I eventually ended up tore my ACL!. What i would do, is wear supportive knee braces while playing sports!. You can buy them at target or walmart for about 18 dollars!.

The more you knee dislocates, the more chance you have of tearing your ligaments in your knee!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
