Hi,
How old is he? X-ray lower limb should be done. MRI is good. Actually, ligament or soft tissue injury is there. Moreover, in physical examination, your doctor has already made a diagnosis and that's why they have not prescribed X-rays. Take syrup Tylenol for pain. If he is more than 12 years then topical menthol plus methylsalicylate can be applied.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
