How Can Severe Pain In The Buttocks Be Treated?

Doctor, I am a 70 year old man. I was playing tennis thirty minutes ago when something felt like it popped in my left buttock. I was nearly unable to stand, however, I made my way over to a chair. The throbbing pain subsided somewhat and now it just feels sore, but I still can t put any pressure on my left side or walk very far. Your thoughts? Michael
