I dislocated my kneecap and put it back

Yesterday I somehow dislocated (what I think it is) my kneecap. Immediately after I put it back in place but it still hurts today. It's not an unbearable pain considering that I can walk pretty normal but I can't put too much weight on it. It wasn't swollen yesterday but I have a feeling it's a bit swollen now. I'm planning on going to a doctor in the morning but an advice or a heads up of what can I expect would be very helpful. Thanks

Hello~I am glad you will be seeing a doctor, this way he/she will probably take an x-ray of it and be able to determine if it is OK and if you set it right. In the meantime, put some ice on it to help get rid of the swelling.
