hi
disc problems are very sensitive
you are not supposed to lift heavy weights, or do abnormal movements of the spine
you can try with tramadol or gabapentin, or pregablin for pain which are all kidney safe.
you have to follow spine relaxation exercises under supervision
please follow up with the neurosurgeon,with repeat MRI LUMBOSACRALSPINE to check out for any new changes
take care
