You can't do it anymore! 
Or risk ruining your knees, sorry about that. Oh, and the only option of helping the terrible pain you go through every day is to do leg exercises every day for the rest of your life in hopes of strengthening the muscle around your knees so your bones stop grinding together. There is no real permanent solution, and any time you bend your knee at more than a 45 degree angle, you're hurting it and grinding it together. Badly. Your knees are brutally fucked. Have a nice day!!
The news I received from my doctor today when I went in to see if I could finally get my knees fixed. I've had this problem all my life, since I was very young, where my legs would just give out and collapse because the bone slid out of place in my knee. They told me I had one of two options- wear a Tensor bandage and hope it went away, or get surgery to sharpen the bones so they don't slide out as easily. It went away, hadn't seen any sign of it for four years, and then I sustained an injury at co-op. Someone didn't do their job right at the grooming place, didn't take the hair out of the drain of the bathing station at the end of the night, I came in the next day, bathed a huge lab and didn't notice the floor was flooding underneath me. Went to grab a towel, slipped, lept over the drier so I didn't break anything, and came down Hard on my right leg.
Ever since then, the knee is sliding out of place constantly, sitting at odd angles that are just Slightly out of place, which is more uncomfortable than completely out of place. I have troubles getting down stairs- it hurts. Anything I do that requires me to bend my leg at more than a 45 degree angle just hurts. My left hip is having problems because I've started to put a lot of pressure on my left leg to make up for the brutal uselessness of my right. Which puts pressure on my back, because one leg isn't a good enough support to balance your body with, and now my hip as well.
My number one passion has always been dancing, ever since I was young it was just my freedom, I expressed myself through dancing and got out everything I couldn't say with words that I felt inside. It was just how I coped and escaped from everything. Now that's gone, and I have no clue where to go from here. If it keeps getting worse, I might have to abandon my dreams of the job I wanted, and who knows where I'll end up being accepted to work. Who wants to hire someone knowing they could be held responsible for an injury if my leg gives out while I'm working?
Fuck... I've been crying on and off all day and nobody understands why. I'm sorry I never bitched and complained about the constant pain, and that I didn't cry out or wince when it was really bad or my knee slid out of place. Apparently sucking it up automatically means it's not that bad. It's just a knee after all, what am I complaining about? At least I've still got one. It'll get better, despite the fact that my doctor flat out told me 'sorry, you're screwed. We haven't figured out any surgeries that fix this long term... try again in 30 years, mmmkay?'.
