Q1: What causes night-time hip pain?
Inflamed labrum, cartilage damage, bursitis, or tendon injuries can flare at rest, causing significant discomfort at night.

Q2: Therapy hasn’t resolved symptoms — should I get MRI?
Yes. Persistent night pain despite short therapy indicates structural issues requiring MRI for accurate diagnosis and treatment.

Q3: Risks of delaying MRI?
Untreated hip injuries may progress, leading to chronic pain, reduced mobility, and functional impairment.

Q4: Why MRI over X-ray or CT?
MRI provides detailed imaging of labrum, cartilage, and soft tissue without radiation. X-ray shows bones only, CT poorly visualizes soft tissues.

Q5: Fast 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.
