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.

Yeah, hopefully the MRI will take care of it.
I was hoping maybe some knee injury vets would have advice about how my descriptions of the pain would be able to improve the patient-doctor relationship in getting to the bottom of it. After going it sounds like the MRI is magic bullet. Luckily I'm a very healthy 21 year old who got this training jits rather than some old obese person with chronic arthritis. I put off the doctor for 6+ months thinking it would heal itself.
