hi
try to avoid painkillers as much as possible,it is not good for the kidneys & the liver in the long run
you can start with immunomodulating drugs like diacerin with glucosamine,vitamin d3 for osteoarthritis
for pain please try with pregablin or gabapentin which no sideeffects on the kidney under medical supervision
take care
