Hi I dislocated my kneecap a week ago while doing a kick to a punching bag in karate class.Luckily my father knew first aid and put it back in place.After my kneecap was back in place,I sat and rested on the floor for a little while and applied ice on it since it was swollen.After 20 minutes or so I decided to try and get up on my feet but I couldn't without any help.Once I got on my feet I saw that I could stand but couldn't walk on it without limping.Now a week has past and im wearing a knee brace which makes it more comfortable.I can now get up by myself but I still have a limp when I walk so I now use crutches to help get around.And I keep my knee elevated when its time to go to sleep or rest.My question is how long will it take for my knee to heal and be able to walk again without a limp?
