Had mri, 2 doctors said sprain/strain. no huge tears. 3 weeks later still can't bend knee much (backwards). could it have been a bad mri?

Probably not bad: Without seeing the scan itself, it is difficult to say what was strained. However, it still takes time to heal a strained muscle or ligament. Of course you can still get another opinion
