During weekends, not many of the forumers come online as some do not have connection from home. Anyway, the best you can do is go to the vet tomorrow. Separate from the others.
Don't you sun your tortoises? You keep indoors or outdoors? What substrate do you keep them in?

Pyramid shell is caused by bad diet. Pet shops mainly have little knowledge.... didn't you know that long beans and french beans are bad?
The thing is..... not many people knows about the correct diet. Cabbage and long beans may be ok in small amounts for certain types of tortoises but never a star tortoise. There are so much info on the internet about their diets....
You can easily find a diet list in the tortoise thread coz it has been repeated so many times.
Anyway, you cannot reverse the pyramiding shell.... permanent already. Slight pyramid is ok but if yours is all very pointy and shape also weird, then it means bad diet and bad lifestyle.
