Standard charge in Focus Diagnostics in Hyderabad is usually Rs 7000/- for a knee MRI but using some contacts I got it done for Rs 5000/- in 2010. So Rs 7000 in Bangalore is within limits given the current inflation. In Belgaum at KLE/JN Hospital its Rs 3000/- for a knee MRI. But the radiology report is always suspect. So moral of the story is pay a little more but get a rock solid diagnosis done.

Got MRI done at Narayana Hospital for 5750..turns out that synovial fluid is increased (joint effusion) but no cartilage tear thankfully.
Dr Hemant Kalyan has suggested knee strengthening exercises..dunno when I'll be able to cycle again..wasting 2 hrs daily in bus commute
