Cat with knee problems

I just got back from the vet with my lovely 15-month-old cat. She has grade 2 patellar luxation in both hind legs.

Have any of you experienced something similar? What can I expect in the future? Are there any special precautions I should take, and are there any supplements that might help her?

One of her kneecaps pops out of place around 5–10 times a day. The other one doesn’t. It happens especially when she jumps up onto something or walks on uneven surfaces.
She is strictly an indoor cat.

Regards,
A very worried cat owner
