Get a physical consultation with an orthopaedic surgeon, he will examine and suggest u further management.
It is not appropriate to suggest on getting MRI without physical examination

Get a Ortho doctor opinion to see you before doing a MRI scan.
He'll diagnose ligament tear better than a MRI!

Stop any kind of exercise atleast for 3 months.. otherwise there will be more damage to elbow structure..
If there is any problem even with rest, get orthopedic consultation.
