Vet said he needed shots to boost his nerves and if he doesn't respond well in a couple days he'll do an X-ray and decide on a further course of treatment. He's back to purring in my lap again. Hug your kitties extra tight for me tonight.

No, no, no. Cats are really really good at hiding when there's something wrong, even if they completely trust you. My kitty started walking stiffly and wasn't playing as much. I made an appointment, because I thought it was arthritis or something as she was getting old, and that's something the vet helped me to understand.

Hope you can do treatment that will work for him and that you have many more happy years with him! You both clearly deserve each other!
