I have a friend who is a district nurse who said it is more than likely a septic infection in the joints from all the other infections I've had and quite often won't show up on a blood test so if so it's a needle into the joint to remove some fluid and then test it.
So I'm off to see my doctor again on Monday afternoon to see what she says and I'm so hoping she says its because I'm not moving about enough or something equally as simple but knowingly my luck at the moment.
Sorry to hear that, Gordon. I really hope it is just lack of movement but at least you know what it could be if not so you’re prepared. Hopefully your GP will be understanding and put your mind at rest.

Good news that the blood results are good and there’s no sign of sepsis in the wound however. Long may that continue! How is going with the doctors and nurses dressing it?

Onto a better topic - any new hatchlings recently?
