Q1: What could cause persistent knee swelling?
Cartilage injury, meniscus tear, ligament strain, or inflammation. Only MRI can clearly confirm the cause.

Q2: Therapy hasn’t resolved it — what next?
If short physiotherapy trials fail, it’s time to reconsider the diagnosis. MRI saves time, money, and prevents worsening damage.

Q3: Why MRI over X-ray or ultrasound?
X-ray misses soft tissue injuries. Ultrasound is operator-dependent. MRI shows ligaments, cartilage, tendons, and swelling clearly, without radiation.

Q4: What might happen if I delay MRI?
Delayed diagnosis can lead to chronic pain, limited mobility, and long-term joint damage.

Q5: Quick and affordable MRI options?
The Pain Relief Clinic provides MRI scans under $1,000, insurance and Medisave claimable, within 1 working day, and non-surgical treatment options to help you recover safely.
