A neurologist may be uncomfortable interacting with your primary care physician outside his/her specialty. Best is to be referred to an orthopedic specialist for problems with "limping".

Based on the wording of your question, it maybe that the two doctors are conferring in order to discuss in much greater detail all the details of your case so that nothing is missed or overlooked when you are seen at the next appointment.
