Odd muscle reaction?

Hi all,

Tonight I was sat in my computer chair as normal, but as I leant forward to reach something on my desk I tucked mt legs under the chair. I suddenly felt something go ping in my hamstring area of my right leg, and had 10 seconds of the most excruciating pain which seemed to finally go when I gently bent and straightened my leg repeatedly, though I could still feel a lump or knot where the muscle was.
I thought I'd just pulled the muscle, but as I got up, I was struck by a solid 5 minutes of totally uncontrollable all-over shaking - like a cross between being extremely cold, and suffering from parkinsons. It finally subsided and now I'm lying in bed with my leg still sore, but I'm rather worried by what just happened. Is this some kind of extreme reaction to straining a muscle?
