Oh dear an Oboe is an incredibly heavy instrument and I certainly faced great pains to develop the endurance to carry a plastic one and then I switched to wood and it was almost more than I could bear. Even though wood sounded so much nicer I played plastic more often just for the shear relief.
And this is coming from many years of playing a solid silver flute. The thumb support that is needed on the oboe is incrediblly painful to develop... much harder than re-developing the embouchure. Coming from a Clarinet you were probably spared such a pain.
Thankfully I discovered those FRED things and I was able to gradually wean myself off to where I could comfortably hold the oboe. It also helps for you to get your fingers in the right places and practice correctly too. Because its support system is pretty much tee-tottering the thumb rest on a stick you can gradually tee-totter more weight to yourself over time.
Of course I'm assuming weight is the problem.
Perhaps the sound isn't as pleasant as she remembers and it's giving her headaches.
