I was walking and I must have stepped wrong, and my knee bent backwards. Not a lot, but enough to hurt like hell. It doesn't hurt any more, but why did it do that? How did it do that? I didn't think it was possible.

Hyper-exstended your knee. I have done it before and it does hurt. If it continues to bother you go have your doc check it out. It should be okay after a few days though.

Your knee hyperextended. The cause could be an anatomic defect, such as ligaments that haven't grown properly and which therefore don't hold your knee joint in place very well. Wearing an elastic knee brace would help with this a lot, as would exercises to strenghten the knee. One of the best is to sit down, put a weight on each ankle, and lift your entire foot towards the ceiling. Do this at least 20 times per side every other day and gradually increase the weight to 10 lbs. or so. Once your knees are good and strong, keep them that way by contiuning to exercise. Or, consult a physical therapist.

Yes it can do that. It is called hyperextending. Sometimes the ligaments, such as the anterior crutiate (ACL) becomes stretched allowing for some extra play in the joint. When you make a mis-step it can hyperextend. I hyperextended my knee in sports and tore my ACL in two. Take it easy and do some leg lifts and hamstring exercises to strengthen the muscles, tendons and ligaments and you should be fine.

It's possible if you snap your Cruciate ligaments like I did 14 years ago.
