I've done the same thing to both knees. It aint fun. Started when I was playin ball in school. Finally the docs figured out my knee caps werent sitting exactly where they were supposed to. They offered surgery, but at 16 I said hell no. Went to a good sports doc in orlando and he told me the best thing was physical therapy. It helped while I stayed in shape. But, the best way they explained it to me was...the outside of your quads are naturally stronger than the inside, so when you plant hard or get you knee in a bind the muscle pulls the knee cap that way. And once you do it once, it just becomes easier for it to happen if you dont keep up with the physical therapy.
Good luck, you'll learn how and what you can and cant do. Just be careful. I've dislocated mine missing a step and jumping down to keep from falling, climbing up a set of rocks while fishing....hell I could go on with that list forever...just take care of it.
Also, I aint a doc, but some other good advice I got was to keep it mobile. If you have to wait till u see an orthopedic, dont just immobilize it. I aint saying to walk around on it, just move it enough to keep from stoving up
