I almost want another MRI

I don't think I re-injured it or anything. But the fact that I'm still having trouble bending with my own leg muscle, as opposed to using my arms to pull, past a certain point; the fact that it still is swollen concerns me. I understand there will be scar tissue that will never be better. I pulled my elbow ligament/tendon in high school. It still has moments where it gets sore. I broke my wrist in 3rd grade. That still flares up every once in a while. There is scar tissue that will never be perfect again.

Maybe it would be nice to see a status bar: recovery 70% or something. 
Or to see "full recovery will complete in approximately 60 days". 

Wouldn't an MRI be able to show if something is hindering full and complete healing?

I'm in ridiculous pain every time I go in for therapy when they have to bend me. How to describe it. I guess it would be like plastic or basket wood. Both bendable. But apply too much pressure and you reach the point of no-more-bendy-bend. Apply more pressure and it snaps. 

I'll try not to go on a rant here. But I hate that MRIs are so expensive to use. I feel like ER doctors should not hesitate to take MRIs. And that follow up scans should be done every month for muscle, tendon, and ligament injuries. 

I've had so many MRIs and CAT scans on my brain to diagnose my migraines. They didn't hesitate then. But when it comes to something that hinders my mobility, they don't want to scan!

I'm done. It's the weekend. I'm tired. I need to use the pool again. And I miss all my things
