Who else had torn knee ligaments and what can I do to make them feel better?I have two torn ligaments in my knee. along with a Bucket-handle tear.
When my knee goes out it feels like I popped it out of place even though I really didn't. What can I do to get it back "into place", so to speak?
I have no insurance. i was told i should see a physical therapist and maybe get surgery, but that is not possible now. I am looking for more home remedies for temporary relief.

I don't know. I'd suggest talking with a physical therapist or your surgeon to find out.
You might want to look into taking MSM for daily pain maintenance, if you're not allergic to sulfur and not on blood thinners and your doctor says it's okay. As well, Sam-E is being recommended for knee health and cartilage repair. Check with your doctor to see if those would help in general.

Because women have wider hips, the upper-leg bone of a woman enters the knee at a greater angle, which twists the knee. This makes women more vulnerable to certain types of kneecap injuries, such as chondromalacia (in which the smooth layer of cartilage that coats the end of the thighbone becomes roughened or cracked), as well as problems with the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL).
if your knee problems are the result of overuse, lack of use (or "weekend warrior syndrome"), or improper training rather than injury, you can use the strategies and home remedies
Stay trim. Being overweight stresses all the joints of the body, but carrying around those extra pounds is particularly tough on the knees, because with every step, you exert on your knees a force equal to one-and-a-half times your body weight. When you run, the force is five times your weight. An extra 20, 30, 40, or more pounds of body weight (usually from body fat) can really stress the knees.
Avoid "knee-busting" activities. Deep knee bends and squats may feel like great fitness boosters, but they're too hard on the knees. So is kneeling, especially on hard surfaces.
Buy the right shoes. Wear the lowest heel possible. The body can tolerate a heel of about one inch; higher heels throw the body forward and stress the knees.
Look at your feet. A common cause of knee problems is overpronation, or rolling inward of the foot. A certain amount of pronation is normal, but too much can cause knee problems because it throws the knee out of alignment.
and most importantly drink a lot of water it helps ease the friction and do calves stretching and hip stretching, it makes your muscles ready to carry more tension off your knees.
hope i helped
