Default Fido has patella luxation :( !

Two days ago I went with Fido to the vets cause he had so much itch in his paw, I got shampoo to bathe the paw with and its OK now.
The vet was checking him out, felt his knees and said to me that he has Patella luxation


When I think back, he has often started limp in walks just out of no where , I always thought he stepped on a stone or something , but it has been this.
Also, often he screams (makes this awfaul loud squeeking sound, never heard it from a dog before) and puts his tail between his legs, I thought he just had to get his anal glands squeesed or something, but then again it was his knee.
Most often he doesnt ''scream'' , sometimes he does that but not often, maybe once in 1-3 months, sometimes he does it many times a day , sometimes not for half a year.

He has this in his left back leg only.

Do your dogs suffer from this??
what do you do to keep them good?
Can I let my dog run free with this?
Can I go jogging with him and take him with me on a bikeride ? (I bike, he runs besides me)

Please let me know how your dogs live with this.
