What Causes Mottling Of Skin On The Back?

I had a massage today, and the therapist found some mottling on the left side of my back. She said it was where my kidney is located. It s about the size of her fist. I have not fallen on my back at any time. My back does hurt and I have trouble sleeping because I can t get comfortable. Would you know what this might be? I plan on calling my doctor tomorrow. I also just had blood work done last month.
