Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Sorry to hear of the trouble you have been through. Pain with kidney disease should initially be tried with over the counter Paracetamol taken regularly if needed, however if that is not effective, then probably you would need opioids for it, its safe in kidney disease. NSAIDS like Ibuprofen should be avoided in kidney disease.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Rahman
