I've found MRI's to be an inexact science as well. I've torn my left knee up pretty bad playing rugby and snowboarding, with a noticeable popping/tearing sound more than once. I finally did it in playing hockey a few years back, and went to a doctor. They tested it and confirmed the tear (I also had a physiotherapist say she couldn't believe how much movement was in my knee), and set up an MRI.
6 months later, I get the MRI, and shortly thereafter get the result. No tear evident, no further treatment required.
Because of that I now have a wonky, sore knee that is held together through a pretty strict regiment of weights and sports to keep it strong. At some point I'm sure the thing will explode.
