MCL tear

[Turkish]

I'm 23 years old....I tore my MCL last september......I did some physio...and started playing soccer again about 2 months later....I've been playing indoor about 2 times a week...and after games my knee is realy stiff and sore for a couple of days....anyways, to make a long story short....I was wondering if anyone has had surgery on their MCL...what the recovery times are and wether after surgery the knee was almost back to normal... should I get surgery or just learn to live with it

I know its different, but I tore my miniscus in fooball. I am 15,and I had to have surgery. i am still in physical therapy. it has been 2 months since the operation, and the doctor has cleared me to start training again. the pain after wanst too bad, and now it is starting to feel better than before the surgery. Good luck
