A member asked:
What can you do if you have a mcl tear of the knee?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It heals: Mcl sprains will heal on their own after 6 weeks. In the meantime, a therapy program directed at range of motion, gentle strengthening and avoiding stress to the mcl is important. Wearing a hinged knee brace will also protect the mcl while it is healing.
