Yes: Yes, i would recommend you go with her to see her doctor. Most likely he will suggest conservative treatment with bracing, medication for symptoms and not surgery.

Yes: If you are concerned that the information she gave you is accurate at least a phone call could clarify what exactly she has and what was recommended.

Had a knee dislocation a couple months ago. Now I'm back to putting weight on feet, walking with crutches. Foot on bad knee seems to swell almost every day now. Looks pale. Swelling reduces overnight. Serious or normal now with increased activity?
