I can’t tell what’s wrong with his leg from the video but since that’s a gamecock he probably hurt his leg when he busted his beak. His left eye looks like it’s bubbly too. That may just be the way he’s looking at you though.

Ohh ok you don’t think it’s like Mareks or some other Disease do you? I don’t really know the symptoms for those diseases

From that video no but with Mareks they can start out just limping on one leg a little and before long can’t even stand up or walk. You’ll know because they will usually seem fine otherwise then rapidly lose weight and waste away.
Did you check his feet for bumble foot, cuts and busted toe nails? If he broke his beak pen fighting he probably just hurt his leg.

Sometimes birds with Marek's will start walking like that. What does his poop look like?

How old is this rooster? My rooster grew so fast he suddenly couldn't walk. Everyone on this site said he had Mareks. Nope, all he needed was some vitamins! He is fine today, but I have learned to give all my chickens vitamins and electrolites in their water at least once a month! Maybe all your boy needs some vitamins/nutrition? Or maybe he hurt his leg. Either way vitamins don't hurt. Good luck with him, he is very lovely!

Yes he broke his beak pen fighting and did cut his toes a lot. Earlier this year he did go through humble foot and now he just has a scab on one foot and the other is free of bumblefoot he is a year old

If he did hurt his legs what can I give him for pain? Should I give him vitamins?

Unfortunately I am unable to view the video although I can hear the sound track to it! I am therefore not able to comment on it

Just because your rooster recovered, does not mean he does not have Marek's. I have had several birds completely recover from Marek's outbreaks after a few days or weeks, so that you would never know they have been incapacitated or there was anything wrong with them, but the virus has just gone into a dormant phase and they will be prone to future attacks at times of stress which could be weeks, months or even years later.

You can certainly give him vitamins and see if it helps, that won't hurt anything. If it's vitamin related then making sure your supplement contains the B's would be good.
For pain if necessary you can give low dose asprin, which is the most common OTC med I've seen used. Apparently ibuprofen is also OK (I've never given it, this is just from research) I know some have been prescribe meloxicam for their birds.
Doses I can find are for aspirin - 5mg/kg 3 times a day. Ibuprofen (pediatric liquid is easiest)- 5 to 10 mg/kg 2 to 3 times a day.
Those doses came from posts here, and from this on avian pain: https://vetfolio-vetstreet.s3.amazo...eae44de2bba70c90e9f12d7c/filePV_27_04_299.pdf
I would keep an eye on any scabs on his feet as that could become bumblefoot.
If he's just tweaked something then a bit of time and rest should give you some improvement.
