How can I convince my parents to let me start figure skating again?

I really want to start skating lessons again. I have been doing several public sessions, and I have asked my mom to call my coach and let her know that I'm ready to start up with some lessons again, but she just kind of keeps pushing it off. My parents are worried that I'm going to move my spinal cord stimulator leads or injure myself again. I can understand why my parents are worried because I've been through a lot in the past year and a half (I've had a knee surgery, 4 spinal cord stimualtor surgeries, and a battery replacment in my hip for my spinal cord stimulator). My doctors have cleared me to go play sports again, and do what I would like; they say that as long as I'm not having pain that I should be fine to participate in sports and other activites. Any suggestions in getting my parents to let me skate again?
I have started some doubles, and I do have **** pads.
I didn't injure myself on the ice, I did it in a gym class at school. I twisted my knee, and was forced to keep running on it because they never belived that I had a problem until I came to school on crutches after surgery a year later when surgery was the only thing left to do. After the surgery my body reacted badly to it, and got a nerve conditon called Complex Regional Pain Syndrome/Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy
