Yes, you can still get an MRI if your knee is swollen. Swelling may affect the quality of the images, but it doesn't typically prevent the procedure from being performed. It's important to inform the healthcare provider about the swelling, as they might adjust the imaging protocols or interpret the results with that context in mind. Always follow your doctor's recommendations regarding imaging and treatment.

It is going to take a few weeks for the swelling to go down. Go see a doctor to have an x-ray and a MRI done to make sure that you did not tear anything in your knee. I also hurt my knee cap a month ago. I went to the doctor and he said it will take a few weeks for the swelling to go down. In two more weeks I have to go to physical therapy. Get well soon. Keep your leg on a pillow to rest it.
