one or the other will start acting up by collapsing or pinching. The pinching hurt badly when I put weight on the knee. It started pinching a few weeks ago and I found one of my old sports braces and put it on for a couple of days. Soon the pinching ceased so I guess it was giving support in the right places to stop the pinching. Maybe that could help your mother if she is willing to try wearing it for a little while. I took mine off after the pinching stopped and haven’t had it back on since, no problem. Good luck.
