No never ever Advil or Ibuprofin in any way shape or form. I have used aspirin on occassion with my vet's ok but only sparingly and with food. A good easy massage will do wonders for the dog.

correct debisue, use enteric coated aspirin, easier on the stomach best bet to use a food with glucosamine and chrondroitin (SP) in it

You may be walking him too far or too long, or he may have a mild case of pano. Just going for a walk should not make a healthy young dog sore. You may want to look into some stretching exercises for him, they are easy enough to find online.
To be honest, I don't like to give dogs anything for pain unless I absolutely must. Pain is the body's way of saying "slow down" and I really feel the dog needs to know when they're hurting so they don't overdo it.

My late boy Bruno had arthritis of the spine in his old age and the vet recommended Tramadol (it's also a med that humans take for pain) for his pain- it worked really well with no side effects. Of course if the enteric coated aspirin works, I'd use that. As biljenbec mentioned, it would probably be a good idea to give him a daily glucosamine/chondroitin sulfate supplement. I gave that to Bruno as well. They have a formula for dogs, but the name totally escapes me right now- I think it's called "Synovi-Chews", but not 100% sure. NEVER give your dog Tylenol, ADvil (Ibufrofen) or Aleve (Naprosen) as they can be toxic to animals.

NO ADVIL!

my 10 year old is on 1/4 tsp smart flex repair and 4 "E" caps every day
1/2 a baby asprin every other day when necessary.
My vet told me asprin thins the blood so too much (especially in dogs) so use it sparingly. if the pain gets too bad, the vet has stronger stuff that will help.

Ester C built up over time will help reduce inflammation. Ascriptin(coated aspirin) is what I would use before any ansaids.
I have heard that fish/salmon oil can add to the joint problems rather than helping in a senior w/ arthritis. Gluco/Chrondroitin and EsterC combo are a great preventative.
