Q1: Why does my knee hurt after running?
Pain may result from meniscus tears, ligament sprains, cartilage damage, or early osteoarthritis. Short therapy trials cannot confirm the exact cause.

Q2: Physiotherapy hasn’t helped — should I do MRI?
Yes. Persistent post-exercise pain despite therapy indicates structural damage that MRI can reliably identify, enabling targeted treatment.

Q3: Risks of delaying MRI?
Untreated injuries can worsen, leading to chronic pain, joint instability, and early arthritis.

Q4: Why MRI over X-ray or ultrasound?
MRI visualizes ligaments, cartilage, and menisci with high resolution, whereas X-ray shows bones only, and ultrasound may miss deep tissue injuries.

Q5: Fast, affordable MRI option?
The Pain Relief Clinic provides MRI scans under $1,000, insurance and Medisave claimable, within 1 working day, with non-surgical treatment options.
