Hello and welcome to HCM,
Pain felt in kidney region is most probably due to trauma.
Internal injury is possibly the cause of pain.
I suggest you to consult your primary healthcare provider for clinical assessment and ultrasound of the abdomen to assess the level of injury to internal organs if any.
Further management will depend on the type and site of injury.
Thanks and take care
