Last knee question i promise! when i had the mri it caused extreme pain, as if i could feel the magnets pulling. ever hear of anything like that?

The opposite : I have not heard pain getting worse after an MRI unless laying on your back for 30 minutes was not conducive to your specific condition. I often here patients tell me their pain improved after an mri. I suppose the opposite is possible as well.

MRI : No...U just may have a high sensitivity to magnetic fields. Mri is relatively benign unless u actually have ferric metal in ur knee in which case it will get pulled put in devastating fashion.
