Default We have just been told our daughter may have a neurological disorder

We noticed about 18 months ago that our 14 year old daughter has been walking with her left foot turned in slightly. She is not clumsy, does not trip over easily and is 'sporty' - plays fottball, etc.
We also have recently noticed that her little finger is naturally curved in towards her palm, although she can straighten it with effort. Her left thumb is beginning to curl in also.
We took her to an orthopaedic paediatrician today and he asked her to do various clenches, stretches with her hands and feet.
He said she appears to have a weakness on her left side. He feels it is more of a neurological disorder and not a physical problem, and has referred her to a Neurologist.

Obviously we are very worried now and need to have an agonising wait to see the specialist.

Would anyone on here recognise these symptoms and be able to reassure us in any way.

Thank you,

Pat Mahoney
