A member asked:
Can you tell me if i could get mcl (knee injury) just from walking fast?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not.: An mcl injury, generally happens from a direct blow to the outside of your knee, which results in stretching/tearing of the mcl on the inner aspect of your knee. You may have flared up a tendon or other soft tissue, but you can't hurt your mcl by walking.
