Hey thanks for your faith in the health care Magic
I have gone through your question and I understood your problem.
Yes MRI will show you scar tissue and ligament injury if at all its there.You said you were told lies all the time but my opinion is body recovery isnt a mathematics and is not bounded by laws.Recovery depends upon Individual. Also you said you are almost 80%recovered.so wait for few more days.
