What to do

I am a long distance runner so I have my fair share of injuries. I have recently started my training back up and I've only ran like 4 miles at a time on a treadmill. My MCL has been very painful when running and especially after I run. I struggled to walk down a flight of stairs a half hour after. I think its only at a grade 1 sprain/tear currently, but should I get medical attention (not a money problem) and possibly be out for up to 6 weeks or should I risk tearing my MCL completely and ski on it with pain?

Depends how much you like your knee. If money really isn't an issue then get that shit checked. Don't tear it. It ain't worth it

Ridiculous

I'd go to a doctor. Good luck having knees when you're older though. Long distance running and skiing is gonna do some damage
