I have to agree with kimbeeJ, MBD or infection. Both are very serious and quickly become life threatening. He needs to see a vet ASAP. Keep in mind that most vets have very little experience with reptiles, so look for one who treats exotics.

A vet.....that's how you treat her! She could have any number of problems including the metabolic bone disease mentioned before. It's a serious problem caused by lack of calcium, Vit D, UVA/B or any other husbandry problems. Get the animal to a qualified reptile vet. You owe it to your pet!

Possibly metabolic bone disease or an infection of some sort. Best to check with a knowledgeable reptile vet asap.

Take your turtle to a vet. We can only guess at what the problem might be. Your turtle may have a serious problem that needs immediate attention.
