MCL's do heal on their own. I tore the heck out of mine. Torn MCL's are often accompanied by torn or damaged ACL's. If the MCL is bad, it needs to be braced in the straight position and you need to keep the weight off of it so it doesn't stretch out while healing, but you also need to gently move it a bit to make sure the fibers heal correctly aligned (I was allowed to bend the knee about 10 degrees and then straighten a few times each day).
Mine needed the above mentioned treatment for about 6 weeks before they could deal with my ACL. While everything has healed very well, I occasionally have a little trouble with pain in the MCL area, probably from adhesions.
