Is Pain And Swelling In Knee After Having Twisted The Knee A Cause For Concern?

Hi am a 62 year old female. I fell on the ice in late Feb and twisted my knee. X-ray showed no broken bones. After 3 weeks of resting my knee I started physical therapy . My friends told me I should have gotten an MRI. Would that have made a difference, in my care or Pt? I still have pain and swelling with my normal activities.
