AnswerI'm not sure what bum shuffling is. Never heard of it.
Make sure you get her the the best pediatric doctor available. Then when you speak with him, and get her the diagnostic tests, take the results to another doctor for a second opinion.
Unless I know what's wrong with her, I really cant suggest much other than asking what the prognosis is, what the recovery would be, what is the least invasive way to take care of this problem.
Also, speak with other patients of this doctor. They won't give you phone numbers but as that your number be given to other patients who might want to speak with you if their child has the same problem.
