What should I do about a knee hyperextension?About a week ago I bent my knee to far while playing soccer. It hurt pretty bad for a minute but then it felt alright.I put ice on it and, I thought it would get better, but when I try running it hurts dully. It's not so bad that it would prevent me from running by itself, but I don't want it getting worse. Suggestions?

Let me make sure I understand. By saying hyperextension, you do mean that your leg tried to extend beyond normal?
"Bent too far" would be hyperflexion.
Could be several things. First thought is a sprain of the posterior capsule of your knee. In other words, a group or band of ligaments across the back of your knee.
However, it could be the mechanism of an ACL or PCL injury.
If you continue to have problems, see an orthopedic surgeon for a good exam.

First, if it's bothering you, call your doctor.
Generally for injuries remember RICE
R-rest
I-ice
C-compression
E-elevation
put your leg up with a cold compress and keep off it. Take something for the inflammation and take it easy for a while. These things take time to heal.
