Feels like hamstring larger than the other. when sitting or in supine it feels like the hamstring drives into the seat more than the smaller ham. ????

Trauma to Hamstring: The larger hamstring was likely sprained, which is Doc Talk for torn hamstring. They can be torn in the muscle or the muscle can tear away from the tendon. It is usually a partial tear and will heal. Even a complete tear usually heals in 6 to 12 weeks. Hamstrings are slightly weaker after healing but usually only top athletes notice. Google stretching exercises as tight hamstrings can be permanent
