Kidney function and medications

Unfortunately it’s sometimes medications that cause CKD. It was in my case along with multiple UTIs and numerous kidney stones because I had no other risks and I was told I would never have kidney disease. It seems any med that is for some ailment causes a completely different ailment. I have all over arthritis especially in the lower back and both shoulders. I cannot take anything for pain other than Tylenol which doesn’t help arthritis because it’s not an antiinflamatry. I’m scheduled for a procedure for my lower back this week. It’s not surgery and I’m praying it works because the pain is really affecting my life. I cannot even stand for more than a couple minutes at a time. My shoulders are so bad I can’t even push a grocery cart. I always thought I had a good tolerance for pain but I was wrong. Sometimes I’m really glad I’m as old as I am (88) as I don’t think I can handle the pain much longer

@8ea My wife had multiple surgeries on her neck and back over the years. This bionic lady has 13 screws in her back. Mayo has an excellent 3 week pain program for which she attended, and got the relief she needed. You may wish to look into this program if you are near one of 3 campuses in Arizona, Minnesota, or Florida. If not, there may be a major hospital near you that may have something similar. However, my wife now enjoys her freedom of pain and has added daily physical therapy exercises to her regimen. She may not be completely pain free, but learned to live with it at near comfort levels.
