Sprained my LCL a few months back and it's still sore.

Has anyone used those compression sleeves for an LCL injury and if so did/does it help ?

If not what do you use ?

    I did, didn't help.

    What did help for my lcl and mcl sprains was PT, which involved a ridiculous amount of squats and lunges.

    I was nervous about squatting again after hurting it. I did however try leg press last week and my knee was sore and just felt awkward during it.

    I would strongly suggest working with a PT.

    I'd go see a doctor man. Don't chance pushing it or you will end up snapping some stuff up that will put you out even longer.

    I tried to push through a pec-tear and ended up out for months letting my chest heal up.
