Your symptoms also sound similar to my knee problems from college. I had a kneecap that liked to dislocate on occasion. First time, incredible pain and then each subsequent time was a little more tolerable(8-10 times maximum). This eventually led to an acl/meniscus injury. What happened to me was this: doing rebound drills in practice, through the course of the drill i found myself down in butterfly(old school butterfly), puck goes off chest to my right, make a move to cover, pad sticks to ice. We used to practice for an hour, resurface and go for another hour. Wet pads(I was using a set of cooper gp pro pads at the time. nylon for most of the front of the pad) and fresh ice don't mix too well. I feel pain like my kneecap is out, but it isn't. Turns out my kneecap did a quick out and then back in and in the process tore my acl and a chunk of my meniscus was then lodged under my kneecap. The result: nonstop pain which basically felt like my kneecap was out all the time and the inability to straighten my leg all the way. This required Arthroscopic surgery and some good recovery time. This happened the last practice before our first game and the next time I dressed and felt 100% was our last practice of the season. Sucked.
Sorry for the long description.
Hope you have better luck. Also hope staying in net after the initial injury didn't cause anymore damage.
Good luck with your MRI. Stuck in a tube for an hour with loud banging is always a good time.
