Anyone with a knee injury?!

Anyone with a knee injury?

I have lots of knee problems from playing lots of sports. The big two: and MCL thats still not healed from previous a previous tear (not complete tear...only slight) (from hockey and basketball on my left leg) and a patella that keeps dislocating (from badminton and basketball on my right). What can i do to fix this and prevent this? (Haha im thinking about amputating. hahah. jk jk jk)

not too sure about surgery but how bout exercises? are there any good ones or tricks that help it get stronger? i already wear a knee brace

You should focus your exercises on strengthening your hip and butt muscles. The problem with your patella is that you are relying too much on your quad (front thigh muscles) and not enough on your hip and butt. You need to do exercises for the inner & outer thigh, butt, hamstring (back of thigh). As far as the MCL goes, no exercise is gonna help that heal...it just needs time. Healing time is from 4-8 wks without placing much stress on the knee in that time (meaning no athletics). If you havent done so already then I would recommend you go to a sports medicine physical therapist to learn how to properly strengthen you legs.
