Does Persisting Pain In The Lower Back After An Injury Indicate Kidney Injury?
someone punched me in the lower back where i think my kidneys are and i have been hit before but this time it was a worse pain. i instantly fell to the ground and almost two days later now it still hurts very much. Is it possible one of my kidneys are damaged?

Hello and welcome to ask a doctor service. I reviewed your query and here is my answer. Is it localized to lower back or the pain radiates to other location as well? Were you hit on the flanks or center of back? There are almost minimal chances of your kidneyinjury, if your kidneys were damaged, you would have problem in urine as well. It looks like your muscle or bones have been causing this pain. You can use pain killers for that. But you need to consult an orthopedic specialist for this. Hope i answered your question. Feel free to ask more if you need further assistance. Thanks.
