Hi,
Thank you for providing the brief history of you.
A thorough musculoskeletal assessment is advised along with MRI.
As you have both the MCL injured, first the recovery is totally dependable upon the type of
injury, mechanism of injury, age of the patient.
Since , the MCL is injured bilaterally, you need to start slow static quadriceps and static
hamstring exercises to maintain the muscle property and regain the strength in them. As any injury occurs, there leads to the weakness of the muscles and there by the mobility is restricted. So the early the exercises started the better the outcome score of recovery.
Also, undergoing a
physical therapy like - therapeutic
ultrasound therapy and TENS therapy should help reduce the inflammation and pain. Post which exercises will be performed to strengthen both the lower
limbs as a whole which will make your recovery faster and consistent improvements will also follow,
In my clinical practice, from day one the physical therapy is advised to patients and majority of patients gets the cent percent outcome scores.
