Question Posted Wednesday November 12 2014, 5:09 pm
I can take my knee cap and pull it out of where it's supposed to be (completly painlessly) And can easily put it back. It's not dislocated, because it only comes out if I try to pull it out. Does it mean I'm double jointed, because my sister could do the same thing with her elbow.

Just logically thinking, it doesn't sound like a good idea to be forcing your knee to do something it isn't meant to do. You can not know if showing off this ability over and over for friends will eventually later catch up with you in knee problems. The only way to really know would be to ask the family doctor.
I would have concerns of stretching ligaments beyond what they should normally do and leaving yourself open for a real knee injury from some kind of stress, due to falling, sports, etc. [ Dragonflymagic's advice column | Ask Dragonflymagic A Question ]
