Q1: Why does my knee remain swollen?
Persistent swelling can result from meniscus tears, ligament sprains, cartilage injury, or early arthritis, which cannot be ruled out without imaging.

Q2: Therapy hasn’t resolved swelling — should I get MRI?
Yes. MRI provides a precise diagnosis, guiding targeted, effective treatment instead of continued ineffective therapy.

Q3: Risks of delaying MRI?
Chronic swelling can worsen joint damage, cause instability, and prolong recovery.

Q4: Why MRI over X-ray or ultrasound?
MRI offers high-resolution, radiation-free imaging of soft tissues, unlike X-ray (bones only) or ultrasound (operator-dependent).

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.
