It sounds like he's fine, maybe just a little nervous about hurting his foot again, but I'm no vet so I don't want to give you any bad advice. I did do a little research and one veternarian said this:
See Your Vet If...
Your pet won't let you touch his paw
The leg is swollen and in an odd position
There is a bad odor around the paw
He had ticks before the limping began
Your pet has begun having trouble walking, getting up, or climbing stairs
One or more legs is dragging
He has a limp that doesn't go away
One or more legs is in an awkward position
There is swelling in the toes, feet, or legs
Your pet can't get up
Your pet is constantly licking or biting his feet
The nails are broken, cracked, or bleeding
There are cuts, blisters, growths, or burns on his paw pads
Your pet is lame first in one leg and then another
He has pain when jumping off a bed or changing position
