Hello and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist,i can understand your concern.
Protein needs to be restricted only in kidney failure patients.
Whether your pain is kidney related,can be confirmed by doing a scan.
An ultrasound scan-KUB,will show clearly,if there's any kidney injury.
To clear doubts, get examined by an Urologist, with following reports.
urine and blood routine,and creatinine. These reports will clear all doubts .
If you've any doubts,send the reports to me, as a direct question.
