hi these conditions wht you are suffering are really very painful, also with radiating pains. relaxing physiotherapy exercises will help you a lot initially these acute neuropathic pains can be controlled with pregablin or gabapentin on regular doses added with methylcobalamine.(like pregablin -m) interval pain can be controlled with tramadol 50 or 100mgs which has a mild opiod property. these are all kidney safe drugs in mild to moderate doses. please do not lift weights or strain your back. all the best take care
