how do I talk to my parents about getting a mobility aid?

I'm a 16yo boy and I have diagnosed EDS, and POTs.
I have been using a cane for a few months now and it's been helping a lot with all of my skeletal muscle pain, and general joint pain. But as of recently my mobility has been getting significantly worse very rapidly :(
When I talked to my doctor about wanting to try forearm crutches he told my mom that I needed 12 weeks of PT, she never scheduled any sort of appointment for me.
My mom doesn't know about my cane, but I really really do need more support and was hoping for advise on how to talk to her?

If your just going to say I dont need a mobility aid or compare my condition to other struggling people please just don't comment, i'm struggling enough as is :(
