Hi,
thank you for providing the brief history of you.
As the mechanism of injury makes me understand that the muscle spasm is due to the strain applied while moving the furniture. This situation is called DOMS - Delayed onset muscle soreness. Which usually takes about a week to get rid of the pain and other factors. Also, for hamstring injury, with proper rest and later stages the physical therapy training is recommended for long term muscle performance.
