How Can Painful Arthritis Be Treated?

I have only one functioning kidney not due to disease. I would like to try Instaflex for arthritic pain. It contains Hyaluronic acid 5 mg and I am not sure if that is filtered through the kidneys. I cannot take any NSAIDS for that reason. It also has Tumeric which I am already taking. Any other suggestions would be appreciated.
