Answer 1

You don't have to accept a doctors findings even if the doctor has been labeled a "specialist".  

If you already have a pediatrician and a pediatric orthopedist that don't agree on a diagnosis or curative treatment for your daughter, then I would go back to the pediatrician and get another referral to a "different" pediatric orthopedist.

I would not trust the advice of anyone who performed an 8 minute screening, didn't look at any of the photos, and then offered me a ridiculous explanation of, "some kids just stand lopsided".

Get another doctor to look at her.

Answer 2

go back to your gp and get an appointment with a different orthopedic.

one who specialises in toddlers

check the net to find a good one

be prepared to travel for the best service for your baby

Answer 3

After you gave birth to your daughter, did the Doctor check her hips? It is commonly missed and can result in hip displaysia...........I would go and see another Doctor and get another referral to a specialist that will listen to your concerns with your daughter.

My little sister had hip displaysia and she had lots of trouble walking and hip and back pain too. But this may not be what is wrong with your daughter. Please keep trying to get someone to take you seriously.

Answer 4

Definitely at least one of those doctors is not very bright. If you have a specialist childrens hospital in your state, take her there.
