Does an MRI help to dignose this if you know? I am many years post op but have had pain in both replaced knees for years. So not want to attempt another replacement at 80. My Dr. will agree to an MRI . Does anyone think it will be helpful? I realize it won't show an optimum image.

I think a CT scan would be more useful than an MRI.

I think a bone scan might have been helpful. I have osteoporosis and I don't think an x ray is enough. I don't think an MRI would have shown the degree of bone loss.
