If you don't have good vet then you could say where you are and members might be able to suggest one however I wouldn't rush into a vets as you'll probably be told whats one can't be changed and the vet will probably suggest x rays which I believe can be costly and will only tell you what you already think. Give your tort a good loving home with plenty of good food and supplements and sunlight/fresh air in the summer, don't hibernate and your tort will be happy and could lead a long life. You could post a photo which would help members to offer advice it might not be as bad as you think.
There are pictures on the tortoise trust forum, where their are far more experienced keepers with more informed advice. Sorry but true.
