HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, this may not be kidney related pain but could be due to some musculoskeletal pain and this can be best managed with "Tab Chlorzoxazone with Acetaminophen" as per needed but once in day would be okay, hope this information helps, take care.
I find this answer helpful
