Rod from Rocky Mountain House asks: I have had hip pain for some time and had an MRI recently to look for a cause.  However, the pain was not as bad that day.  Does that mean the test was a waste?

As a general rule, it is unlikely that the underlying cause of the pain would have resolved and not be seen on an MRI even if the pain was less at that time.
