![]() ![]() It felt as if I have an irreversible injury/wouldn't be able to walk again. Although I don't know what a broken bone felt like back then, until the 3rd time I suffered the injury - 2 years later from the first occurence, it didn't feel like a broken bone the first time I did it. How does this work? When I dislocated my knee, it was so damn painful, just ridiculous. Anyway, I have heard of sufferers dislocate their knee in their sleep. My knees are, thank God, strong enough to avoid this. Other sufferers suffer a dislocated knee getting into bed, or if someone taps their knee. Hi, I suffer from risk of knee dislocation (done it four times), but my problem, while serious, is not as serious as those of others. You could always ask a physio/doctor if you're really concerned. And.I've dislocated my knee when it's in a cricket splint (the massive padded thing with metal running through it) before so supports won't necessarily help in y without the support for a day or two and see what happens. Take the knee strap off for a bit and let your skin breathe for a bit - just don't do anything stupid when you're not wearing it. But equally it could happen just before I wake up doesn't really matter, they're easy to sort out. Your fingers have joints.I just notice it when I wake up normally and notice that they're in an odd position relative to the middle knuckle and it's mildly uncomfortable. Also, I do wear knee straps (non-hinged), but I really don't want to wear them all the time. Do you straight away wake up and feel the pain? Or do you still sleep through and then wake up due to an alarm or some environmental factor and feel the pain? I'm assuming the former, as I sometimes sleep awkwardly in terms of my shoulder, back and/or neck placement which causes pain in my sleep and it wakes me up straightaway (or I might have a body part in pain, and when I lie down it causes more pain, so I sleep, and it wakes me up due to pain). Lastly, to the guy who dislocated fingers in sleep: Do you wake up straight away? I'm assuming the injury causes some degree of significant pain. ![]() Also, how can you dislocate a finger? I thought only joins can be dislocated. One thing I've noticed is that some people dislocate joints and don't seem to be in any pain. EDIT: and if it was an anatomical problem chances are that they'd have picked it up on X-rays already. If you dislocated your kneecap when actually doing stuff (eg sport) the chances of this happening are very, very small and it would have happened a lot more frequently. It's on a different scale but I've been waking up with dislocated fingers at the moment.they don't really bother me massively though.I still have no idea why or when it 's only when I wake up I notice them. And some people have problems like a much lower groove on one side of their knee that doesn't keep their kneecap in place and/or hypermobility syndrome which means their ligaments aren't strong enough to keep it in place (essentiall). Recurrent injuries do kind of just end up not bothering you as much (ie if I sublux my patella slightly I just get really annoyed and it's more of a hindrance than a massive "OMG ooouuuch" but if it properly dislocates I'm still not used to that). I used to be scared of slipping in snow, ice, or wet leaves, but now I am scared of dislocating my knee in my sleep. ![]() Or is it, like when you need to go to the toilet, your body automatically wakes up (so when the injury happens in your sleep, the pain that is instant wakes you up)? Also, do people get used to the pain of a constant, recurring injury? Some people say they are used to the pain of a dislocated knee from the number of dislocations they've had (I've had four and the pain has been ridiculous on each and every occasion). But if it is this painful (and believe me, it is!), does someone still sleep and feel nothing until they wake up (perhaps because an alarm has gone off)? And when they wake up, they feel the full onslaught of pain. ![]()
