Cindy -
I'm very sorry to hear about your hand problem. It's unusual to have a problem with your left hand, since the right hand is the one that holds the weight of the instrument.
Even if the person who told you to stop playing was a doctor or a physical therapist, it's worthwhile getting a second opinion from someone who specializes in the problems of musicians. I got a lot of help from a physical therapist in New York who works almost exclusively with musicians.
Finally, don't sell your parents short. They're not clarinetists, and their hands aren't hurting, but their hearts are hurting for you, even if that's hard to believe sometimes.
Best regards, from someone your parents' age.
