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.
