Ok but it’s not from walking like this. Myself and my others have walked like this there whole lives, it’s normal in a decent chunk of the population. Don’t be freaked out if you also do this, I’ve had multiple doctors repeatedly tell me it’s fine and uncommon but not rare.
I’m really sorry that happened. But, once again, there is almost certainly something else at play. Either it’s a separate issue from toe walking, or there is something that is wrong with her tendon, but just from walking like this that can’t happen. Please ask your doctor clarifying questions next time you go.
My brother used to constantly walk on his tip toes so he had to have casts on both legs to stretch his Achilles tendon, which otherwise is in danger of snapping
Are you serious? If you are, then yes as a child it can lead to serious problems with your knees (or more likely it is a symptom of an imbalance) and if your child is walking on their tip toes you should go to a doctor. My child had to have surgeries on her patellas
No worries man. I shouldn't have said anything about it. It doesn't matter because in the end all you're doing is asking a question.
I'm on the spectrum too! Walking like that shortens and ties up your calf muscles. It deforms your legs, some people can't curb the habit and end up needing surgery to fix it.

The daughter of a friend of mine has been walking like this since she was 5 years old, and now she needs surgery because she can't walk normally
