WHAT IS THE BEST TREATMENT FOR MCL INJURIES?
The medial collateral ligament (MCL) lies on the most inner part of your knee and works provide stability and strength to the joint. The MCL can get torn or sprained as a result of a high impact hit or blow to the outer part of the knee.
Symptoms of MCL injuries will vary depending on the severity of the sprain, which is classified into levels of mild (grade 1), partial tear (grade 2) and complete tear (grade).
You may have swelling, pain, tenderness and slight bruising. The pain is likely to increase after several hours of the injury, making it more difficult to move the knee.
