The good thing about an MCL tear is it can heal on it's own. I was lucky with my injury last fall, it was able to heal on it's own w/out surgery. I hope Tony's the same way..

Whoa! Is right. Grade III MCL Tear A grade III injury is a complete tear of the MCL. Patients have significant pain and swelling, and often have difficulty bending the knee. Instability, or giving out, is a common finding with grade III MCL tears. A knee brace or a knee immobilizer is usually needed for comfort, and healing may take 6 weeks or longer. http://orthopedics.about.com/cs/kneeinjuries/a/mclinjury.htmTom
