Hi.
Thanks for your query.

Noted your history of had to cough in the garden, development of very painful huge knot in left side and blood in the urine last night - wants to know whether it is possible to injure one's kidney by coughing...

Yes this is possible and indicates that there might have been a large cyst or so connected to the kidney that got injured.

I would advise you to go to ER ASAP and get ultrasonography/CT scan of the whole abdomen and tests of blood and urine.

This will give the correct diagnosis about the exact cause and the effect about the possible diagnosis to get a proper treatment.

I hope this answer helps you to get an early diagnosis and proper treatment.
