    Take him to the vet?

    You have an older dog with a sudden change in behavior....that in itself is reason to get him to the vet immediately.  AND you have him showing pain...dogs are extremely stoic and don't SHOW pain.  You need to get this boy to the emergency vet NOW.

    Since he is outside and probably you don't know what might have happened,,,I would think he should be seen by a vet right away.  Could even be that someone did something to him.

    Years ago, my son Ron, DH and myself put my Dane/Shepherd in a large blanket and carried him to he car and to the vet.  It was tough,,,but we did it!

    I'll tell ya what.  I have had more upper body surgeries than Carter has little pills, but by golly if I needed to move my 93 pound shepherd, I could do it!
     
    Get a friend, a neighbor, someone you don't like, beg someone passing by for help to get him to the car.  Once at the vets, someone there can help you get him in.  This is extremely serious and he needs medical help NOW.
