A member asked:
I have a swell knee, i got a xray they said is nothing broken, just liquid and torn mcl been like this for 3 weeks. wen would it go down?

Varies : If you have not had an MRI, you may want to get one to look for other associated injuries. Most mcl injuries heal with bracing over approximately 8-12 weeks. Fluid from an mcl injury usually resolves over about 2 weeks, aspiration of the fluid is another option.
