Time for surgury?
I have a diloacating knee cap its really gross i know i goes "out" when i run or kick or stand on one leg sometimes. I wear strong knee braces but this past weekend it did it while i was wearing them. My mom thinks i need to get surgury and so do i but we disagree when, she thinks it should be before soccer season so I don't injure it further, and i think i should do it after so I don't have to miss the season (I am a starting forward for varsity) When do you think would be the best time for me to get it?
Thanks

You should probably talk to your doctor to see how serious your condition is. I know it'll suck reallyyy bad to have to miss a soccer season because of a knee injury [it happened to me this year :], but if you wait, you may be out of soccer for even more than just a season. So basically I suggest that you just discuss it with your doctor to see what he thinks. :] Hope I helped.

I guess you have to weigh up the possibility of any long term damage you may do if you do play this season.
Talk to your doctor and make a balanced decision without bringing in emotion. Emotional decisions are not always the most sensible as you will find it difficult to be rational.
You mother's primary concern is going to be your wellbeing, anything else will take second place.
What's the worst that could happen if you don't play this season? What's the worst thing that could happen if you do?
I don't think it's something anyone on this site will be able to tell you, you need to make the choice yourself after looking at all the contributing factors.
I hope that helps and wish you the best of luck in whatever you decide.

I think you should talk to your doctor and find out the facts, if you do get injured in soccer will you ruin your ability to play forever? What are the risks? By asking your doctors opinion you can make an informed choice. It is not worth ruining your knee for one season, so listen to your doctor even if he tells you something you don't want to hear.
Good Luck

Apparently you can't keep your knee cap in place with a brace, and you need to do all those movements in soccer. Really, waiting on the surgery will not do your knee or your soccer game any good. You may as well have it done before the season. Talk to your Dr about recovery time and the activities that you will be able to do and when, and see what he/she says. The more information the better at this point. Best of luck!

i cannot tell you when to have your surgery but i will help you make your decision
go over the pros and cons of having the surgery before the soccer season starts and then go over the pros and cons of having the surgery of have the surgery after the season dont forget if you have the surgery youll have to have time to recover AND therapy to get more movement in it (depending on how serious the surgery is i probably could of ansered it better if i knew how serious)
hope i helped
