I need advice please.

Ok so I'll try to make this short.
Chevy my male 7month old BC had a lump on his leg about 2 months ago. We had it removed, more for cosmetic reasons. He had it unchanging, not bothering him for over 5 weeks. But he was being fixed so we had it all done all at once.

Now he has a new lump on his shoulder. He had hurt his leg playing ball and then this lump appeared. Back to the vet we went we were given anti-inflammatory's for him. After a week the lump is unchanged again. The vet called to check on him and after telling her he is still limping and the lump is still there she thinks we need to do the following. Keep in mind we can touch any part of his leg and it doesn't bother him.
1. remove the lump and have it send for histology (sp??)
2. take fluid from his elbow joint, to have that checked.
3. X-rays
My question to you is am I being hosed?

I trust this vet but in the last 2months we have spend close to $1000.00 on the two pups. And now I estimate this to be around another $400.00.
So do you think this is all necessary?

Please let me know I have booked the appointment. But I can't afford this, not only that I don't want Chevy to go through any more then he has to.

Thanks
