Answer
Cheyenne,
It is quite possible that he has arthritis in his joints. But it can be many things, so the vet really does need to see him. You might want to see if he will take payments for one visit.
He may need an xray of his leg or at least his wrist joint.
There is nothing else I can tell you online. He needs to see the vet and find out what it is and get some pain medicine for him.
