Is it possible to have an injury to the hamstring muscle(s) or tendon(s) without bruising that would feel tender and like a bulge when touching it?

Yes: You can definitely tear or strain your hamstring with out necessarily having a bruise . I would not hesitate to be seen if you are having problems.
