Q1: Why does my knee feel unstable?
Knee instability may result from ACL or PCL injuries, meniscus tears, or cartilage damage, which cannot be ruled out without imaging.

Q2: Therapy hasn’t stabilized my knee — should I get MRI?
Yes. MRI identifies the specific structural problem, enabling evidence-based interventions and preventing further injury.

Q3: Risks of delaying MRI?
Persistent instability can cause falls, joint damage, and early osteoarthritis.

Q4: Why MRI over X-ray or CT?
X-ray shows bones only. CT poorly visualizes soft tissue. MRI provides detailed, radiation-free imaging of ligaments, cartilage, and menisci.

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.
