Hi @CPmiliplayz
Great to meet you. Has your knee continually dislocated over 28 years or been dislocated for 28 years?

It has been dislocating and popping back in over the years

Wow. I am really sorry to read it has taken the medical profession so long to diagnose hypermobility. I have found some information that might be helpful about Joint Hypermobility Syndrome from the NHS.
