Brief Answer:
Go for joint fluid analysis.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

I have gone through the MRI report attached. It shows joint effusion (collection of fluid). It could be due to injury or inflammation in the area. As this inflammation had become chronic, you need joint fluid analysis to reach the proper diagnosis.

Hope this helps you.

Warm regards.
