Hi - i made it but was speed reading!

The most common thought i had when reading your info was..."..but why is the pain there?"

In other words, has anyone looked to see why you might be loading up the MCL?

How are your muscles? Are they overactive in your hip flexors, TFL, Adductors, hams, quads etc during different positions/range of motion?

Have you been videoed or observed on a treadmill to see what your lower limb kinetic chain is doing?

Has your back been assessed - to me, it doesn't seem like anyone has checked your back and nerves.

I have had Gr III (full rupture) MCl as well as Gr I and II come back much quicker than you have - but i tend to look for why it gets stressed...obviously someone forcing your knee there is out of control (or falling down between the platform!).

I would try to find someone who can look at you *move* and try to rebalance your musculature - your "tight" quads are probably overactive etc hence overdeveloped...

Good luck
