I want to give a character of mine a wound infection on his leg. Something severe enough to raise the stakes, but not lethal. Something that would be interesting to write about. The setting is very much pre-modern in terms of medicine.

Give the character a boil on their ass, and they can barely walk or sit down, until the core of the boil is removed plus some additional healing time. Pus and black blood comes out when the core is removed.
No I won’t be going into deep details, but I had boils around 2009 or so…
