HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, for the diagnosis of knee joint MRI is the only way out there, because this is very vulnerable joint for injury and very fragile one possibility of arthritis, effusion, torn meniscus, anything could be possible, and this can only be differentiated with investigations, hope this information helps, tale care.
