Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This could have been due to some mild trauma or perhaps excitement and not necessarily from pain. If she does not appear to be in pain and does not have a limp, it would be ok to monitor for now. If she appears painful at any point, I recommend that you check in with your veterinarian. Otherwise, hopefully this was just an isolated episode. Good luck and have a great day!
