Not dislocated but just gives out randomly. I do not feel weak... Also walking crooked. I am so fed up.

I continue to say I do not have this crap..WEll can't afford the money or time for two of us, so not sure it is a lyme symptom or not, but I have had this happen a few times..
Usually there is no pain when it happens to me.I also have no warning..I am walking and one will just not do as it is supposed to do..And I have to catch myself..

I think I've learned to compensate. I never trust my knees. When walking down deep steps, I place my foot sideways so as not to put strain on my knees.

The walking crooked thing has been a symptom of mine for a couple of years. Now that I am being treated (same doc) I have had days were this has not been a problem so much.
My knees give out spontaneously and I've fallen because of it. I know, it is scary but this too shall pass. (I pray)
Glad your on the road to recovery. Blessings.....tic chick

my legs in general give out-painless, but out of gas. Weird feeling. Total give out, sometimes very very extreme.
Was originally dx with myasthenia gravis because of it.
I have it in other muscles as well, but legs are the worst. We have a wheelchair on call at home.
Usually worse at night.
I find that I need a combination of exercise (I walk) enough to keep from getting deconditioned, but not crossing the line of exhaustion. That "line" varies from day to day.

Tendons and ligaments are severely affected by Lyme, especially heavy metals. I learned not to get on a ladder or step because I could not trust my knee.
After detoxification of every kind, my knees are totally back to normal. I do not know I even have knees and I am an old lady.
My advice: clean up your body of all n e u r o t o x i n s . If you concentrate on the Lyme bugs only, it is going to take a long time and might never happen. To get the Lyme out, you need to get all the other toxins out also. Microbes love to hang out in toxic terrain with limited blood flow until you come with the big shovel, i.e. go on a good and varied detox program.
Take care.

My knees buckle sometimes, too. Usually it's just one so I'm able to stay standing and if both of them buckle I'm usually able to save myself a fall by responding quickly. But it's annoying and at times I worry that I'll fall somewhere.

I have to add myself to this note. I had knee's giving out on me with my "fibromyalgia" diagnosis. Happened in public places which makes it more embarrassing.
Since then I found out my "fibro" was actually Lyme, BUT I can really relate to what you are talking about, so very possibly is lyme related.
Also, Mark mentioned stairs. I can get down them, but at this time, having trouble getting up them. Infact I can't do it.
But that I blame on the steroids they gave me for this so called degenerative disc disease. Steroids cause horrid neurological problems as I found out the hard way BEFORE I knew it was lyme.
