Well, I looked up rabbit punch and it is a punch to the neck/base of the skull and is illegal in boxing because of possibility of severe damage to the spine/brain. I see on one of the boxing sites it also says that it can refer to a punch to the kidney/back. Its use possibly comes from a hunters strike to kill a rabbit by breaking the spine.
My left kidney now feels like there should be a bruise from hip to floating ribs - I once took a really bad fall during a judo match and I had such a bruise. My guess is that the stone is now working its way down the ureter to the bladder where the real pain begins. Here is an interesting look at the human body -

My doctor asked how the heck could I be getting calcium stones? Well, for about 10-15 years I had so much stomach gas (when I burped, little kids would go "WOW") and I used to go through a bottle of antacids a week. I kept a bottle in the car, a bottle at work and a bottle at home. When we drove around the country, my wife got so fed up with me asking for the antacids, she poured the bottle into the ashtray of the car so I would stop bothering her. Fortunately I had quit smoking and never smoked in this car. Eventually, I was diagnosed with a hiatal hernia and an esophageal ulcer. Once that was taken care of, the dependence on antacids went away. But I imagine that my body has some calcium to get rid of and this is it.
