Hard to speculate from your online description (it hurts when you bend your lower leg past parallel with the floor - as in hyperextension?!?), but it sounds like you will be getting a better idea of what is causing the pain and inflammation after the MRI. Could be an LCL injury (push medially just below the knee, pull laterally at the ankle to test ligament instability), could be some cartilage (any locking, grinding?), could be arthritis, a cruciate ligament, a strain, a bruise - who knows. Just hang tight, smile for the scanner, and get whatever treatment and rehab you need to heal properly.
