Jarrod i really don;t know enough on MRI's only that they did not show any degeneration on my right hip which needed replacement bad. So for my body, i don't consider them a solid diagnostic tool.
Seems like you are thinking of possible muscle damage.I can say i have suffered through an inflammatory muscle disease called polymylagia rheumatica . It was very painful when i had some spine surgery and my muscles that were inflammed were cut. More than very painful, hard to describe, then i went into having seizures. Sorry i digressed here. Just wanted to say that muscles really , really cause a lot of pain when damaged .
Not sure what imaging method is best for soft tissue.

When are you going to Spain? Your primary care can prescribe antidepressants for you.
