Brief Answer:
You can ignored if it was just one time

Detailed Answer:
Hello, I have studied your case. I think this can be due to nerve compression. I would like to know little detail of the illness.
1.Do you have back pain?
2.Do you have Diabetes or thyroid or smoking?
3.Do you feel tingling and numbness in body?
Please send me answers of these questions. I will try my best to help you. Thanks

Then you can just ignore this pain

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
If that is the case then you can just ignore this pain. It was most probably due to sudden stretch of muscle. If this pain occurs ever in future then you can contact us again.
