A member asked:
Can you bruise kidney falling on your back?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Although the kidneys are protected by strong back muscles and the ribs. It would take a severe injury to cause hemorrhage to the kidney. Pain is likely coming from the muscles in your back. If you blood in your urine or pain persists, see your doctor.
