hi
these conditions wht you are suffering are really very painful, also with radiating pains.
relaxing physiotherapy exercises will help you a lot
initially these acute neuropathic pains can be controlled with pregablin or gabapentin on regular doses added with methylcobalamine.(like pregablin -m)
interval pain can be controlled with tramadol 50 or 100mgs which has a mild opiod property.
these are all kidney safe drugs in mild to moderate doses.
please do not lift weights or strain your back.
all the best
take care
