Both my MCLs are damaged. Not bad, but I can’t run without soreness. Need help.

Have you seen an orthopedic surgeon or had an MRI?

After 5 minutes of running the soreness is there for a couple of days.

Wow. My MCLs are fine, and I'm in pain LONG before 5 minutes into a run.

Eating veggies is probably better for him than running right now.

Depends on severity. If it’s partial tear you’d start with anti inflammatories and PT/exercises

You don't need surgery for an MCL injury, unless it is substantially torn.

Both of your knees would have to had bent significantly inwards to tear anything
