Hi, Thank you for providing the brief history of you. A thorough musculoskeletal assessment is advised along with MRI. As you have both the MCL injured, first the recovery is totally dependable upon the type of injury, mechanism of injury, age of the patient. Since, the MCL is injured bilaterally, you need to start slow static qua Chat Doctor.  As any injury occurs, there leads to the weakness of the muscles and there by the mobility is restricted. So early the exercises started the better the outcome score of recovery. Also, undergoing a physical therapy like - therapeutic ultrasound therapy and TENS therapy should help reduce the inflammation and pain. Post which exercises will be performed to strengthen both the lower limbs as a whole which will make your recovery faster and consistent improvements will also follow, In my clinical practice, from day one the physical therapy is advised to patients and the majority of patients gets the cent percent outcome scores.
