Can a knee that pops out of joint be a sign of damage?

I stepped up to my truck Friday and my knee gave away.It took me about 15-20 minutes before I could put any weight on it.It continued to "give out" (maybe popping out of joint) several times during the weekend.
I went to ortho yesterday.They said that I had just aggrivated my arthritis and gave me a shot in the offending knee.If it still bothers me in 2 weeks they will order a mri.
It doesn’t feel like my usual arthritis pain.And would aggrivated arthritis make my knee unstable?
Thanks

Yep it sure will. I have that same issue. Sometimes it just friggin pops out of alignment and oft times it can be really painful. I have bad arthritis in both knees so I really do "feel your pain".
yo thats happened to both my knees while playing basketball. I went to the doctor and they said that I badly bruised both my knees and tore cartlage in the knee. They said they only way this could happen was if the knee cap poped out and then went back in. Although it wasn’t a serious problem, it took a long time to heal trust me.
may i suggest a 2nd. opinion!!!! how many times before have this happened to you??? if this is not your 1st, time then you got trouble then it would NOT be arhtritis!! i got the same thing, and mine is a definite trip to hospital for a complete overhaul of BOTH knees because now i can litterally pop knees out of joint on que!! i did NOT get a 2nd opinion, i listened to WRONG advise so do GET 2nd opinion!!!
