Over pronation and turned in feet?

[*Sparklez*]

Thanks for replying ladies! I really appreciate it, Yael, do you know the name of the problem at all?
I've booked in for a private orthopedic names Dr Michael Bellemore at Westmead Children's Hosp. Which my sons pediatrician recommended since he is very high up at that Hosp.
I did take my daughter to my childhood GP who I've been seeing since I was a child and he said it looks like a case of mild club foot but he does also think there is something else wrong, he suggested club foot due to the fact that her feet are turned twisted up ways while sitting and relaxed and also seems some of her toes are also curling in the incorrect manner.. I have no idea what I should be looking for but he said it really does need to be looked at ASAP as it is causing quiet discomfort and issues during walking, he said the reason they maybe so turned in while walking could be due to the club foot or due to muscles are too tight in her legs an feet as her shins seem to be a little turned in also which he said that when a child's muscles are twisted and tense the bones tend to do the same??
I have an appt on the 7th of march the earliest I could get ATM, but hopefully we can get this sorted and in the right step to fix it
Pholi, he also said that the precious dr doesn't know what his talking about and really shoul t of given a diagnosis when he isn't specialized in the area, so I took great delight in re reading your responses.. But again he isn't also a specialist in this dept. but he did treat my cousins daughter for an extremely bad case of club foot which nearly required amputation o her newborns feet due to complications in the womb so I am some what assured that I can get this fixed for her...
Thank you both sooo much!! You have definitely made me more confident in the direction I'm traveling in this thank you!! Xox

From your description, i was going to ask if they had suggested clubfoot. I was born with severe clubfeet, and looked into current treatments just in case my babies were born with them. If you are given a diagnosis of clubfoot look into a specialist who does the Ponsetti treatment- this is largely non-surgical and uses massage, physio, plastering and strapping. Much better long term treatment than surgery.

Sparkles, I'm so glad you've seen someone who could give you more information - you are definitely doing the right thing getting her seen!

Re your previous Dr's diagnosis - hah! I could tell more from an internet forum than he could looking at her in person!

I wish you the best of luck with this, and would love to find out how you go with the private ortho.
