Q1: Why does my knee swell after exercise?
Swelling may result from meniscus tears, ligament sprains, cartilage injury, or early arthritis. Therapy alone cannot confirm these injuries.

Q2: Short-term physiotherapy hasn’t helped — should I get MRI?
Yes. MRI identifies the exact structural damage, allowing targeted treatment rather than continued ineffective therapy.

Q3: Risks of delaying MRI?
Untreated injuries may worsen, causing chronic swelling, instability, and accelerated joint degeneration.

Q4: Why MRI over X-ray or ultrasound?
MRI visualizes soft tissue, cartilage, ligaments, and menisci with high clarity. X-ray shows bones only; ultrasound may miss deep tissue injuries.

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