Do i need to visit hospital if my hamstring went pop whilst running. my leg is now black and blue 11 days later and still very painfull. ?

Regular doctor OK: It sounds like you may have torn a muscle and/or tendon in your leg. It is common to have extensive bruising and pain after this kind of injury. You should see your regular doctor or a sports medicine/orthopedics specialist. He/she can examine you and be sure you don't need an MRI or even surgery. Also, the doctor may be able to make recommendations for treating the pain while you heal.
