Could Back Pain Caused From An Injury Lead To A Kidney Issue?
During MMA practice I landed hard on the lower left side of my back. 6 hours later I was doing a cardio workout and felt pain deep inside on that lower left area of my back. Nothing horrible but it did interfere with my workout. Could this be my kidney?

Hello and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist,i can understand your concern.
It's unlikely to be due to, injury to the kidney.
The kidney is well protected by the rib cage.
However after an examination by a doctor,you should get a scan done.
Get an ultrasound or CT scan of the abdomen.
This will give an accurate idea, of the cause of pain.
If you've any doubt,send the report, as a direct question.
