Q1: Why does my knee click and ache?
Clicking or popping sounds often come from meniscus tears, cartilage wear, or loose tissue fragments inside the joint. These issues may not be visible on X-ray.

Q2: Short therapy hasn’t fixed it — should I do MRI?
Yes. Persistent pain and clicking despite therapy indicate the underlying problem hasn’t been addressed. MRI identifies the real cause efficiently.

Q3: Risks of delaying MRI?
Untreated meniscus or cartilage damage can progress, causing chronic pain, swelling, or even joint instability.

Q4: How does MRI compare to other scans?
MRI shows cartilage, ligaments, and meniscus clearly without radiation, while X-ray cannot detect soft tissue damage.

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

Q1: What causes knee pain during routine activities?
Common causes include meniscus tear, ligament strain, cartilage wear, or early arthritis. Even mild injuries can progressively worsen if untreated.

Q2: Therapy hasn’t worked — what now?
If a short trial of physiotherapy, massage, or anti-inflammatory medication fails, MRI should be considered to confirm diagnosis rather than continuing ineffective treatments.

Q3: Why not X-ray or ultrasound?
X-ray misses cartilage and ligament injuries. Ultrasound may not detect deep joint problems. MRI provides a complete, radiation-free view.

Q4: Risks of waiting?
Delayed diagnosis can lead to chronic pain, reduced mobility, and early joint degeneration.

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

Q1: Why can’t I kneel or squat anymore?
Loss of knee mobility can be due to meniscus tears, ligament injuries, cartilage damage, or early arthritis. Even small injuries can cause pain and instability.

Q2: I’ve tried physiotherapy — should I still do MRI?
Yes. Short therapy trials that fail indicate the root cause hasn’t been addressed. MRI identifies the underlying problem before it worsens.

Q3: What are the risks of delaying MRI?
Ignoring persistent pain may lead to chronic inflammation, worsening cartilage wear, or permanent joint damage.

Q4: Are X-rays enough?
No. X-rays show bones but cannot detect soft tissue injuries. MRI gives a clear, radiation-free view of ligaments, cartilage, and tendons.

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

Q1: What could cause persistent knee swelling?
Cartilage injury, meniscus tear, ligament strain, or inflammation. Only MRI can clearly confirm the cause.

Q2: Therapy hasn’t resolved it — what next?
If short physiotherapy trials fail, it’s time to reconsider the diagnosis. MRI saves time, money, and prevents worsening damage.

Q3: Why MRI over X-ray or ultrasound?
X-ray misses soft tissue injuries. Ultrasound is operator-dependent. MRI shows ligaments, cartilage, tendons, and swelling clearly, without radiation.

Q4: What might happen if I delay MRI?
Delayed diagnosis can lead to chronic pain, limited mobility, and long-term joint damage.

Q5: Quick and affordable MRI options?
The Pain Relief Clinic provides MRI scans under $1,000, insurance and Medisave claimable, within 1 working day, and non-surgical treatment options to help you recover safely.

Q1: Why does my knee hurt months after a fall?
Injuries to ligaments, meniscus, or cartilage may remain undetected without MRI, which is the only way to confirm the exact cause safely.

Q2: Therapy didn’t help — what should I do?
Short-term therapy failure is a sign to reconsider diagnosis. MRI identifies the real cause instead of wasting more time and money.

Q3: Why not just X-ray?
X-ray shows bones only. MRI reveals ligaments, cartilage, tendons, and inflammation clearly, with no radiation.

Q4: Consequences of waiting too long?
Untreated injuries may worsen, causing chronic pain, swelling, or instability.

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