MCL / knee strain - how long were you out for? Any tips?

Did my MCL (grade 1 tear) during the old coach favorite of "10 round kicks each side". Was doing right round kicks too quick & my left knee pivoted wrong > twist > MCL. Learning this isn't uncommon?

How long were you out for Vs grade of tear? Any tips? Heard a fella at work say he pushed too quick & wound up dislocating his knee & that's the last thing i want. Dr says 1-3 weeks is typical time out.
