Brief Answer:
Very unlikely.

Detailed Answer:
Welcome To HCM. I am Dr Anshul Varshney. I understand your concern.
Any contrast given during MRI poses a risk of kidney damage and that's why before giving any contrast kidney function tests are performed. Your doctor must have performed in your case too.
It is possible though that a contrast could have harmed the kidneys leading to swelling over the feet.
Back pain is not the side effect.
I would recommend in such case to consult your doctor who would perform a repeat Kidney function test and a Urine analysis.
Drink plenty of water so as to flush out remaining XXXXXXX if any out of your kidneys.
I hope it helps you.
If you have any further query, please ask me.
