Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

An MCL injury can make your leg feel like giving off and off balance.If your injury is not severe,then you can do rehabilitation and strengthen the leg muscles.Over a period of time symptoms will reduce and you will feel more stable.If MRI of knee shows significant damage then surgery would be definitive treatment.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
