Hi thanks for writing
The fall you had might have caused some injury on the flank side which may cause pain. It is not necessrily from the kidneys. If you dont have any blood in the urine or any ohter problem in passing urine it may not be a kidney problem.
Although my concern is whether you had a rib fracture beause of the fall as the pain is increasing when you cough or breathe. X ray might be of help. Even if it is a rib problem all it needs is a rest and immobilisation.
You may write back with your queries.
