Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for your query.
From the description of symptoms, I don't think your pain is muscular in origin as the muscle pains seldom goes beyond 3 weeks.
Posterior pain and buttock pain is most often associated with Lumbar spine pathology.
You need to get an MRI scan of the area done. So I suggest you to consult an orthopedic surgeon for a detailed evaluation and management.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
