This does not sound like an MCL sprain or tear. That would usually be associated with an actual injury such as a bad fall, an athletic injury, etc. However, the fact that it still hurts over a period of 5 months does suggest that something is wrong. This is often called "internal derangement," meaning something is going on that is not yet identified. You should have an MRI to see if you have a medial meniscus tear or articular cartilage damage. Exercise is good for your knee as well as your whole body, and will not cause you to "wear out" your knee; in fact, it helps nourish the articular cartilage. It is time to proceed with an orthopedic evaluation.
