See Orthopedic dr: You couldhave overstretched the ligaments/muscles behing the joint while overextending. Sometimes there is a chance for partial or full tear od ligaments/muscles. After initial xray knee,if negative need to consider MRI of the foot.If MRI isnegative physical therapy will be helpful.
