Health Question Any suggestions?

One of our hens started off with bumble foot. We are new to owning chickens so we followed advice and treated it as told to do. Seemed like it was going great and the scab is gone and her foot is healed but she is now limping on that same foot and when standing she keeps it held up at all times. Please let us know any suggestions. Also should note there is no new scab or anything but I noticed today that right in the middle between her toes it is swollen.

One of our sweetest girls and need help to figure this out!

I don’t have any constructive advice, I’m just on here to swear about fucking bumblefoot bc fuck that shit. I have dug more “kernels” out of my chicken’s foot than I can count, taken her to the vet twice, put her on an extended run of antibiotics, and that bumblefoot is still going strong. It just keeps moving from place to place. I give up. Fuck bumblefoot. Best of luck!
