Have Diabetes And Arthritis. Taking Morton, Started Hurting Kidney. Suggest Safe And Effective Medicine?

Thanks for posting on XXXXXXX
I am glad to be able to help you answer your health query.
There are several pills that can help with your arthritis and that are not nephrotoxic (i.e damage the kidney) notably common analgesia such as acetamenophen, tramadol, opiates derivatives such as codeine and other NSAID such as celecoxib, piroxicam, diclofenac, morphine derivatives etc.
If your kidneys hurt after taking morton, I suggest you see your doctor so he can get your kidneys evaluated (to see if any kidney damage) before another pill is prescribed. Most of the drugs mentioned above have little or no effect on kidneys and you can attend maximum daily dosages without affecting your kidney. I also suggest you get an actual prescription from a doctor.
Hope this helps and wish you the best.

Thanks for updating,
Then the medication you were taking was nephrotoxic reason why your lab tests showed abnormal results. You just have to switch to another arthritis pills that is less nephrotoxic (I cited some few examples of the ones that could be of use to your arthritis). Some of those may come with some few side effects.
I recommend that you take those with doctor's prescriptions (withdrawal syndrome after long term use could results if any of the drugs are taken inappropriately).
Hope this helps
