A member asked:
Should i get an mri to confirm plica syndrome? i have the choice of seeing if it calms down or an mri. my concern is the excessive popping/pain.

Get the MRI: You should get the MRI to check for meniscus pathology. Plica syndrome is usually diagnosed on the examination by the experienced orthopedic surgeon and is hard to diagnose on MRI. Good luck.
