Treatment. On average, it takes six weeks for a MCL injury to heal. The initial treatment for most grade 1, 2 or 3 MCL tears focuses on reducing the pain and inflammation in the knee while immobilizing the knee to keep it stabilized.
Place an ice pack over the knee. This is important immediately after the injury to reduce pain and swelling. With an MCL injury, you will experience pain and tenderness on the inner side of the knee. Wrap the ice in a towel and apply for 10 to 15 minutes to the inner knee every two or three hours after the injury.
