Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
You can take analgesics, like Ibuprofen for pain relief. But pain killers cannot be used for longer period because of your kidney problems. You can consult a rheumatologist and start on drugs, like Allopurinol and Colchicine.
Wishing you good health.
Thanks.
