In response to "The MRI wouldn't be a couple of grand, maybe $600? (dont really know). But certainly get the MRI. Unless you are looking for a fracture the x-ray is " by James Bond (aka Igor)

Mine was right at $1300 total for the MRI plus the radiologist's bill. It showed a small tear in the medial meniscus. When my ortho scoped it, I had a

complete tear with ragged edges and a large bone defect with pitting from where I had walked on it so long after injuring it. It's been 4 years since the surgery and it's still quite painful. I get injections of cortisone under my kneecap 3-4 times a year.

Normally I'm good with needles, but I can't even look at this one, it's effing huge. You can actually see down the hole in the needle. ugh.
