I'm glad you were able to see the vet & I hope the albon works out for you. It should help right away.

Off the top of my head the main reason for lameness in reptiles is metabolic bone disease if not that then a spinal injury.
Females could have more problems with calcium deficiencies when they're producing eggs. Other reasons would be more obscure so the vet would need to investigate further.

Frequent injections can cause temporary lameness in turtles but since we don't give them injections in the back legs that would only happen in the front legs.
Gosh I hope you get this problem solved. Good luck & keep us updated.
