Hello. I am sorry your dog has some tumors. If your dog has tumors on the inside of the legs, it depends on what types of tumors if it will cause pain or not. I recommend having your dog seen by a vet to assess the tumors, as they may need to be surgically removed, or there may be medications that can help. Your vet will be able to tell you if it will be painful or not. Good luck with your little one.
