I had a patellar dislocation once. Then after that over the years I had patellar subluxation. Now a year ago I had patellar subluxation as a result I fell down. Then as there was no one at home I couldn't get up so I was on the floor nearly for an hour. Now it's over a year but still I feel pain in my knee when I stand for long hours or walk too much.
