No, you are not being too fussy.
When she asks again I would simply remind her that you have previously explained the reasons why you sometimes walk with a limp; and then ask her directly why she continues to ask you why you are limping.

I like Tom's advice for you. I am sure this nurse practitioner has seen so many limps it's like seeing an elbow to her anymore. Or maybe she is required to ask about any visual thing she sees every time, every patient. (I know for me seeing a regular Dr they always ask "do you still take your blood pressure medicine? Blood sugar medicine? Allergy medicine? Etc. Are you still taking the antibiotic? And I want to tell them FOOL! I haven't been in in over a year! Of course I am no longer taking the antibiotic! But they have to ask per policy.) Ugh! Doctors!
I don't think you're being so fussy, I think you need to find a new nurse practitioner..... Someone who cares enough to remember who you are and what you're health issues are. You have every right to feel offended.
I can imagine how frustrating this must be! Next time, I would say: "This should be in your records from my past explanations, but I'll try one more time. Now please write this down!"
