Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about cyst that you have reported. MRI is for diagnostic purposes and with the diagnosis already established, there would not be a reason for this test at this time. Seen the fact that he is having pains, I will suggest that you get this cyst probably treated through excision. I will recommend that he sees an orthopedist doctor if this cyst has connection with the joint.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thank you so much for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
