Default worried about my hamster

I have a syrian hamster he is about 1 years old, we noticed he was jumpy and won't take food that we give him that he usually loves, also when he was sat on me i though i felt a very small lump/bump on the back of his foot but I'm not sure, but i don't want to try touch it again, but the dilemma is i don't have access to a car, and the vets in notts are too far for me to get to without taking more than one bus, does anyone know anything which could save on vet bills and also someone coming from miles away with a car?

Well, there are a lot of lumps and bumps on hamster feet, so it may be nothing unusual. Are you able to compare his feet to see if one is different?

How long has he been jumpy? If it just started, has anything changed recently? Did anything happen in the neighbourhood, like construction or fireworks that could have upset him? Hammies have very sensitive ears, more sensitive than ours, so it's possible he heard something from far away. Also any new animals in the neighbourhood that may have paid a visit, especially carnivores like cats and dogs, can really upset them for a time.
