If you are feeling a pain in the flanks, in the lower back portion under the rib cages, you may be suffering from kidney pain. It is important for you to pinpoint the location of your pain. You may just be mistaking the pain from a ligament sprain or a muscle pull injury as pain in kidney. Picture 1: Image showing location of kidney inside human body. Source: Wikipedia.
Flank pain can be a sign of a kidney problem. But, since many organs are in this area, other causes are possible. If you have flank pain and fever, chills, blood in the urine, or frequent or urgent urination, then a kidney problem is the likely cause. It could be a sign of kidney stones.
