Brief Answer:
Etova is dangerous for kidney

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

I have studied your case and I think that you should not take Etova tablet as it can cause damage to kidney.

I would recommend you to take tramadol tablet. Also you should wear lumbosacral belt for support. Meet a physiotherapist and learn back muscle strengthening exercises.

You can also apply voletran ointment over back along with hot water fomentation.

I hope this answer will be useful. Let me know if there is any other follow up questions.

Thanks
