Symptoms & Signs
What are the signs and symptoms of the injury?
A person with an MCL injury will experience pain in the inside portion of the knee. The individual will still be able to walk almost normally if the ligament has been only mildly stretched. If there is a severe tear, the individual will not be able to walk or bear weight on the leg. The amount of stiffness in the knee will depend on the amount of swelling.
