I strongly recommend getting him seen by your vet to determine the cause of his lameness before trying to alleviate his pain. There may be an injury or strain you may be unaware of, not everything bruises. First, human analgesics can be toxic to pets and secondly, you may mask symptoms that would lead to a faster diagnosis.
