Please Help!!! My mom got hurt :(?

[emilyyyythegreat3]

Ok, so my mom has always had knee problems. And she's torn her minicus (it's a part in your knee) 2 times and has had surgery for it 2 times. Well, she was out enjoying the sunshine today, gardening, and then POP. She did something to her knee... AGAIN. I wanted her to come in, so she could put her leg up and ice it, but she refused, and she told me not to call my dad (He's away on buiness) - She's being a real butthead about it, I want her to take it easy, I don't want her to have another surgery, because the more she stresses her knee the worse it's gonna get. What should I do? Should I let my mom persist, and be a butthead, or shoud I try to get her to lay down abit and ice her knee? (I'm 13 BTW and I love my dearly, I want to her rest!!!)



Thanks :D

* I love my mom dearly

well if you heard a pop then she might have torn it again or hurt it again, so it would probably be better if she iced it or went to the doctor. but if it doesnt hurt or anything then its probably ok

Tell her to come in and you'll make her something fun to eat and a cold drink while she ice's her knee and gives it a little rest!

What a great kid you are. ;)

Know how you feel I'm 13 and my mum was gardening about 2 weeks ago when she tripped and fell. Her finger was very swollen but she didn't want to go to the doctor. After a week I managed to convince her tol go. Turns out she broke her finger.
So I strongly advise you to convnce your mum to see a doctor. You don't know until she gets it look at, the injury could be serious. You must at least convince her to rest it. Good luck and hope your mum feels better soon !
