Doing yard work. .sudden pain around and above knee now radiating to butt. pulled muscle? fracture?

It could be pulled : Muscle around the knee or could be some related to lower back in which the pain will be radiating from the buttock to the knee. Do you have any numbness? If you do most likely from the lower back area.

Sudden pain: After such physical activity, it is possible that you could have strained or sprained a muscle or ligament of your thigh that connects to the knee area. A fracture is not likely but not impossible. Please consult an orthopedic surgeon for a thorough evaluation and treatment.
