To recover from patellar subluxation without surgery, focus on strengthening the muscles around the knee, improving knee stability, and managing pain. Physical therapy is crucial for building muscle strength and improving joint stability, which can reduce the likelihood of future subluxations.

I've been having a lot of back pain lately, and sometimes it spreads to my hip. I cant sit for more than 15 minutes or walk for more than 30 minutes without the pain kicking in. This all started just 25 days ago, and I can't help but worry about how long itll take for me to get better. Plus, I'm concerned about how this might affect a future pregnancy. Could you give me some insight into what might be going on and what I should do?

It sounds like you may be experiencing muscle strain or a posture-related issue, which is common but can cause discomfort. Since it's been ongoing for 25 days, I recommend seeing a doctor for a thorough evaluation to rule out any underlying conditions. With proper treatment, this shouldn't affect your pregnancy, but early intervention is key to a quicker recovery.
