Jamie plays football for his local team, and he injured his knee in a difficult tackle. His knee whipped forward and back, and the pain was immediate and sharp. “It swelled up straight away and I couldn’t put pressure on it,” he says. “It wasn’t something I could just run off.”
After a couple of weeks of limping and waiting for the swelling to go down, Jamie went to his GP. From a physical examination, they weren’t sure what was wrong, so they referred him to A&E in case he had sustained a fracture.
There, he was given an X-ray. “They told me it wasn’t fractured and sent me home, and told me to keep an eye on things. I didn't feel confident that my knee would just heal on its own, but I wasn't given a diagnosis."
Waiting lists and slow progress
Jamie could walk again, but something still didn’t feel right. “My knee would ache when I woke up, and if I was out all day, it would be really sore by the next morning. It would sometimes keep me awake at night.”
It reached a point where he hadn’t played football in six months and still had no real idea why. “I was worried that I’d done something serious,” he says. “But I wasn't getting anywhere with a diagnosis.”
That’s when he turned to Scan.com.
“I used Scan.com to find out exactly what was wrong with my knee.”
“I would highly recommend Scan.com due to how quick and easy the whole process was,” Jamie says. “I used Scan.com to find out exactly what was wrong with my knee.”

The team were so friendly and helpful, and the clinician was kind and professional when explaining my results. I felt like everybody really listened to me.”

With his MRI report in hand and a clear explanation of the issue, Jamie could finally begin treatment with confidence. “Scan.com put my mind at ease and allowed me to start my recovery plan. From the results they gave me, I’m now back playing football.”
After months of being stuck in limbo, it was the turning point he’d been waiting for.
“Thank you Scan.com for helping me get back to playing football.”
