    As someone who has suffered from several dislocations and finally major surgery to fix the problem that caused them just let me second notreallyChris. Go to your doctor and have them refer you to physical therapy.

    You'll get quite a personalized workout and be sure to keep doing the exercises when not at the therapists office, you don't want the surgery I had! Not fun at all.

    You need to see an orthopedist. Please whatever you do don't take any advice from anybody on this website. Even though their intentions maybe good they could tell you to do something that'll really screw up your knee even worse. An orthopedist in conjunction with a physical therapist will give you a training routine to help strengthen the knee.

    If you excersize now you may ruin your knee forever. Get professional help and regain function slowly. You can always do seated upper body weights in the mean time. Good luck.
