Hello! Thank you for writing! I think that you could have harm it in the gym. Do you feel pain in the hamstring when you bend down? I think it is a muscke tear but better visit a doctor to make a physicall excamination. Do you have other signs? The tear of a muscle needs sometime to repair itself Don't sforce it. Wish you good health, best regards.
