A few weeks ago a friend was sitting in a chair taunting her to play well diesel pounced backwards knocked over my son and then was suddenly limping, she would hold her back right leg up and i couldnt really tell where the pain was coming from i called the vet they said unless she is yiping when i would touch it let her rest and if it wasnt better by monday bring her in (this was on a friday) she limped the next day but seemed fine afterwards she i called the vet just to check in and they said it sounded like a pulled muscle, lately i have noticed after she is laying down for a while or in the morning she will limp a little bit but then its fine, she never really seems like she is in pain even while running around outside or after shes fine.
Pulled muscle maybe just hurting?
or possibly a torn tendon? to go to the vet and spend hundreds of dollars or not?

You can "wait and see" for a few more days, but I would not give any pain medications or NSAIDs such as aspirin without actually having him checked by a vet and then having the vet tell you that such things are OK to give. Without knowing exactly what's wrong you cannot be sure if aspirin is helpful, worst case scenario it could mask pain causing your dog to use the leg too soon and make the injury worse.
