Medial collateral ligament strain, or a strain of the MCL, is caused by injuries to the knee joint. MCL is a ligament attached to the inner part of the knee joint, and it keeps the thighbone, knee joint, and shin bone in the right alignment for walking and bending the knee normally. Sometimes injuries from sports like football cause a strain in this ligament which makes one wobble while walking and suffer a lot of pain. This may heal on its own with rest, but major injuries may require surgical correction.
