How do you know the difference between knee tendonitis and MCL injury?

You really don't need to know this, or at least any such information would not be useful unless you had a doctor that could prescribe treatment. The difference is that tendonitis is a musculoskeletal condition and MCL, medial collateral ligament injury is damage associated with just the skeletal system. Knowing which one it belongs to helps determine the way it is treated; one could get ice, brace, cortisone and the other possible surgery.
