Hi, dear. I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Your creatinine level is very high. It needs immediate treatment. Pain killers in large dose for long periods is known to produce kidney damage. You may have analgesic nephropathy. Just stop your pain killers. Take treatment according to your nephrologist advice. If you take proper treatment then there is a chance of getting near normal level again. Take regular treatment.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer.
