Has anyone seen anything like this before. My dog is 5 years old and does limp on this leg when first getting up for a step or two then perfectly fine. The bump is hard and does not hurt when I push on it. Sorry for the poor pictures but hard to get. Only on the one back leg.

Best to take your dog to the vet and have the bump checked out.

Swelled joint? Could be anything from a Lipoma, cyst, etc. - the limping could be a luxating patella, early onset of arthritis - I'd take him to the vet for a physical if it were me!
