Thanks for using HCM, I understand your concern and will try to give you my medical advice, I think that your pain is related with some musculoskeletal disorders, probably in your lower back and the pain in your feet at the same side is a nerve irradiation, is a great idea that you discard any kidneys diseases and lose weight is very convenient because the hypertension and the lower back pain could be symptoms that you are overloading your body at this moment some OTC icy/hot patch in your lower back an some anti-inflammatory pill can help you, don't miss your medical appointment and take care.I hope that my advice has been helpful
