Limping, bine growth front paw

I noticed my guy taking his time going down stairs lately, then started to limp when walking.  I noticed he has a bony growth on his right front paw.  It does not hurt him when I touch it.  The vet wanted to try an anti-inflammatory 1st before X rays.  has anyone seen this before?

How old is he?

Is it hard? I would probably have xrays done especially if it is hard. What does your vet think it is?

That looks like its on the wrist joint...

He's probably thinking a soft tissue or joint injury. Anti inflammatories may help. I would limit his activity so.

I thought joint as well

At 7.5 and if its not bothering him and no limping I would not be too concerned.

Hopefully the anti inflammatories will help.

Relooking at photo

maybe a little high for the joint.

Yes

I actually do think it his wrist joint as well. Not sure what could have done this. I though he could have fractured it, but he was never in any pain>? It does not bother him when I move it. The vet thinks it may be a cyst? He is 7.5 yrs old.
