My dogs were playing outside Benny came in with his back legs up. He can put some weight on it. I touched and pressed everywhere with no sign of distress. Could I give him Tylenol

Poor Benny! No, you should not give him Tylenol. Human pain medications are not nearly as safe and effective as the medications your vet has that are formulated for dogs, and anything you give could inhibit your vet's ability to prescribe something better. I recommend keeping Benny quiet and rested, minimize stairs and jumping, and if he's still limping after 24 hours then have him seen by your vet.
