Q1: Why does my knee hurt when squatting?
Pain may be caused by meniscus tears, ligament injury, cartilage damage, or patellofemoral joint issues.

Q2: Therapy hasn’t helped — should I get MRI?
Yes. Persistent pain despite treatment warrants MRI to identify the precise structural cause and prevent further ineffective therapy.

Q3: Risks of delaying MRI?
Delayed diagnosis may lead to worsening meniscus or ligament damage, chronic pain, and reduced functional capacity.

Q4: Why MRI over X-ray or CT?
MRI clearly visualizes all soft tissue structures without radiation. X-ray shows bones only, and CT is less reliable for soft tissues.

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