Hi Dear !!Thanks for your query to HCM.
Read your query facts and reviewed it in context to your query.
Cause of Pain in lower Back and In legs-
Based on facts of your query -this seems to be from -
Pelvic Infection Disease causing low back ache, but the leg pains seem to be from ?accompanied Sciatica / or from Muscle cramps(Charlie horse ) from low sodium as checked by your doctor .
Other causes of such complaints needs to be ruled out by Second opinion from your doctor and by needful Potassium levels / and Colour Doppler Study of Leg veins- to rule out any accompanied Varicose Veins of leg.
Kidney infections need to be ruled out by KUB and urinalysis,as you being lady, and being diabetic, more chances are there , but it would cause lumbar pain and not the lower back pain as complained in your query.
Kidney failure does not seem to be a cause for your lower back ache.
This low back ache mostly seems to be from -Pelvic infection disease-common in ladies.
So all these facts need to be ruled out by Gynec doctor check up and supported by Second opinion from orthopedic Surgeon.
Remedy suggested-
Besides review of drugs for control of your high blood pressure,Diabetic proper control is to be kept,as you have accompanied PID and groin abscess lately drained by your doctor.
Addition of Metronidazole with Augmentin would control infection and would control diabetic more effectively and early also.
Review of doses of Lisinopril for high bp is to be done with your Physician.
Puting on Inj Insulin could control this XXXXXXX horses pains in legs with correction of anti hypertension medicines and proper fluid infusions with N-Saline.
