Will a MRI be necessary to view if the is tissue tearing?
Brief Answer:
Yes to confirm tissue tearing.
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome back
Yes if anyone wants to see whether there is damage then it can be examined clinical but MRI is confirmatory. But at this moment primary treatment is rest and analgesic. I think MRI is not necessarily at this moment. It will be required if further surgery is planed to confirm the tissue tear if any.
Everything else already discussed.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
