Hi!
When you lie down or during sleep, the muscles around the joints relax. Thus the patella bone may dislocate from place due to weak patellar tendon. Usually this responds to physiotherapy. Please ask your doctor about this. Hope this helps. Take care!

The medical advice given should not be considered a substitute for medical care provided by a doctor who can examine you. The advice may not be completely correct for you as the doctor cannot examine you and does not know your complete medical history. Hence this reply to your post should only be considered as a guiding line and you must consult your doctor at the earliest for your medical problem.
