Slight dislocation

I was practicing my SIF hops up three pallets earlier and didn't quite
make it. The uni slipped and I fell, resulting in a strange, warm
feeling in my leg. I knew what it was instantly. I dislocated my knee.
Scrambling seconds later, I managed to pop it back in. I can walk fine
now with the exception of a little pain. But I tried to uni and it
hurts slightly more when I try. I was practicing before doing a bit of
filming so unfortunately I don't have any footage of it to review.

Give it a week to heal, then it should be fine. (me thinks)

I skipped school on Wednesday due to back pain which started last
Sunday.

Today is nearly gone, tomorrow should be healed completely...

I hope your injury heals quick, knee injuries are pretty much the worst
kind of injury to have, equal to back injuries I would say.

I just went out on my uni and rode down the street and it seems mostly
fine right now. But I think I should give it a few days before I do
anything intense.

Definitely take a brake for a couple days.

I rode on Tuesday when it was really nice out, and Wednesday... had to
skip school because the pain was 10x as bad.

Sounds like you dislocated your patella/kneecap rather than your knee.
You would have to rip all the ligaments apart to actually dislocate
your knee, and you wouldn't be walkin'

I have done a similar thing to my knee when I was trying seat wraps.

It felt like my knee just gave out, I was lying on the road and my knee
felt like it was on fire. I got up and could barely walk, but I limped
back inside. It was really sore for a while, but after about a week it
was fine. After that if I moved it the wrong way I would begin to feel
that same kind of pain again, but it hasn't happened for a few months.

That's not entirely true. It all depends on which bone dislocated. I
have dislocated my knee (not the knee cap - fibular head dislocated)
three times now and I was perfectly fine once my dad maneuvered it back
in.

After I dislocated my elbow I had to have the ER put it back in and my
arm was unusable(after 2 weeks I had to do a small number of stretches
each day for therapy) and in a sling for a month while it healed.

Your fibula is not part of your knee joint. The knee joint is the
articulation between your tibia and femur.

Patella dislocations are painful and can be recurrent, but hardly as
serious as a knee dislocation...which would involve disrupting your
cruciate and collateral ligaments (*ouch*).
