Some body recently said that ''bodhisattvas do not suffer'' this is also a nonse because every human suffers either Buddha or any other being can not stop it...Physical suffering say a kidney pain is a reality. Bodhisattvas certainly suffer if others have suffering...

That's right. All human beings suffer physical pain. Buddhism cannot cure physical pain. However, it is worthwhile mentioning that it is commonly accepted that parinibbana is the end of all suffering (physical and psychological). What is directly verifiable is that the Buddha taught a path to end mental suffering which arises due to greed, hatred and delusion. This is a verifiable fact. For physical pain it is best to see a doctor.
