Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
Taking NSAIDS is not advisable in view of your renal problem. You can take acetaminophen and do a regular hot fomentation in the area. Applying a local analgesic gel on the area is also a good pain relieving measure without damaging your kidneys.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
