Why does my knee ache at night — could an MRI help identify the cause?
Q1: What causes knee pain at night?
Cartilage wear, meniscus tears, or inflammation often flare when resting at night. X-ray may not reveal the underlying issue.
Q2: Therapy hasn’t improved it — what should I do?
Persistent symptoms despite short-term therapy indicate the need for MRI to identify the root cause, preventing wasted effort and worsening damage.
Q3: Why MRI over other scans?
MRI shows ligaments, cartilage, and soft tissue clearly, unlike X-ray or ultrasound, and is radiation-free.
Q4: Risks of delaying MRI?
Ignoring persistent night pain may lead to worsening joint damage and limited mobility.
Q5: Fast, affordable MRI option?
The Pain Relief Clinic provides MRI scans under $1,000, insurance and Medisave claimable, within 1 working day, and non-surgical treatment options.
