Knee cap dislocation !

Seeking bit of advice ...
I dislocated my knee cap 3 weeks ago . I had fluid on my knee and swelling , I went to my A &E and they put me Into a leg splint and referred me onto an orthopaedic he wasn’t much help didn’t give me any exercises he said to me keep the splint on for two weeks and then remove it . They referred me onto a Physiotherapy but that’s still two weeks away , I’m unable to walk very limp walking on one leg . My other leg feels tight and it feels like a weight I’m slightly worried about this , also when I looked today my ankle is swollen have no idea why I have also booked a physiotherapist for this week hopefully that works but why I can barley walk still???. Is this right ? .

Knees pop in and out of location (tracking) frequently. They discovered mine was dislocated during surgery. I was told strengthen my quad muscles by doing straight leg lifts. Strong quads help keep it it place
Your other leg may feel tight and heavy because you're favoring the other leg. Your "good" leg is carrying most your weight, and doing twice as much work. I had to go to my chiropractor to get him to release my good legs muscles. I would try to lightly stretch the good leg muscles.
No answers for ankle. I hate to make suggestions for you bc I am not a doctor. But am an orthopedic wreck. This is just what was suggested to me and helped.
Good luck!
