[|Human|] i was stepping over a row of plants and the leg I planted slid in the mud causing my leg to extend and bend backwards (like your knee locking). The muscle on the back of my leg is sore and it goes up to by butt. Should I use heat or ice. What should I look for in the way of pain in the following days? I can walk with little pain but sitting is another problem.
[|AI|]  Hi, thank-you for providing the brief history of you. As the mechanism of injury suggest there will be sprain of the ligament in the knee and also the strain of the hamstring muscle. Sudden contraction of the muscle for controlling the joint to avoid any major damage such pain arises. Getting a thorough clinical examination will be on a safer side. Such cases in my clinical are recommended with rest, ice and some simple physical therapy. RegardsJay In Chat Doctor.
