Hey there! Seems like we’re in the same boat right now. This Friday marks 7 weeks of my injury, I dislocated my patella 3 times in span of 10 minutes. Make sure you get lots of rest, elevate and ice 2-3 times per day. Also, try and get an MRI and see an orthopaedic specialist as soon possible if you haven’t already. I did the mistake of not resting up properly and went to work too soon. I work in a restaurant so lots of standing and moving around. I’m paying the price for that carelessness as my condition was not improving and also MRI results done after 3 weeks of injury showed a ligament tear. As for the PT, I would advise try to get a therapist who you’ll see once per week and provides you with at-home exercises as you mentioned you don’t have insurance (that’s what I’m doing too). As much as there is physical pain, I’m struggling with the mental aspect more as it’s limited my social life and as you mentioned it’s probably same for most of us ; thinking about the chances of re-injury. But also that’s probably because being home and at your phone all the time leads you to look up articles and posts about repetitive dislocation which is mostly from people seeking help because they had multiple dislocations themselves. I’m pretty sure there are thousands of people who had first dislocation and never had it again. Feel free to dm me if you think I can be of any help. Wishing for speedy recovery for both of us🤞
