MRI: Are you sure it was an MRI? X-Rays are used to rule out fractures and don't show soft tissue. CT scan are similar machines to MRI, and also don't show ligaments it tendons very well. MRI's are big machines that take an hour to scan a body part. They have great resolution for tendon and ligament injuries. I would also recommend beginning PT for stretching and strengthening work outs.
