I would definately take him to the vet to see what the problem is, so they can tell you what will help the most. Maybe like everyone else is saying, a steriod will help a lot. Also, this isn't a dog, and I don't know if they use it in dogs, but I had a lovebird that was almost crippled from arthritis (old age - he died at 19, and the vet said it was like a human living to be 120), and my vet gave me celebrex to give him, and it totally fixed him right up. He could walk almost like he never had arthritis - LOL! Anyway, so they may have something newish and really good out there. We would joke that my bird and my dad took the same arthritis medicine!
