Yes: I would recommend having it checked out. There most likely isnt anything emergent you should go to the er with, but you could have damaged any one of a number of muscles/attachment or tendons and you will need a physical exam to clarify which of these this is, including possible hamstring injury. I would recommend seeing a sports doc tomorrow if you can.
