this is a good place to start

read especially the first 16 steps for things that help
Generally when one had kidney issues, it is not enough to just take a pill or an herb, one must make a comprehensive lifestyle change
I suggest reading this book
http://www.amazon.com/Neal-Barnards-Program-Reversing-Diabetes/dp/1594868107/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1379324486&sr=8-2&keywords=neil+bernard and following that diet to see how your diabetes etc goes.
maybe see if your library has that or these books or see if they have inter-library loan or buy used on amazon
also for the water retention look into dandelion root I posted on it here in my big comprehensive thread
http://curezone.com/forums/fm.asp?i=1224281#i it should help as studies how it is comparable to a drug they use called Lasix
to help get it down you can mix it with fruit to make a green smoothie preferably one that helps the kidneys like watermelon (juice the rind) also make corn silk tea when having corn on the cob.\

I list the food and herbs good for the kidneys
coq10 is cheap often in dollar store
parsley root I see at Meijers in produce department make it into a tincture If you do not know how to make a tincture mention that and I will post a link. You can also juice or eat parsley root and sparsely
herbs like a burdock tincture can be made cheaply.. I buy herbs at mountainroseherbs and you can get organic or wildcrafted herbs 4 oz is only slightly more than many charge for one ounce..the biggest expense is the vodka..I buy the cheapest in the big sizes to help with expenses.
I save up to 90% making my own tinctures using bulk organic herbs..if that is still too much use conventional herbs cause even though organic contain 7 to 10 times the phytochemicals that are in conventional herbs, Dr Schulze healed his kidney patients and all disease when they only had for sell 10% organic the rest he used were conventional so if you must due to financial constraints, you can cut there and make some of the recommended tinctures You can even tincture the dandelion to make it more compact over juice.
Making wheat grass is cheap if you grow your own but you need a manual wheat grass juicer but in a pinch just cut the grass into 3/4 inch pieces so it does not ruin the blender and blend with some fruit or veggies and then strain it all,. you will get some of the benefits of the wheat grass.
here are some teas that you can drink or also turn into tinctures which is very easy

Plantain grows right outside in your yard or park in thew grass for free

Diaphoretic teas can also help get the water out

I would couple this with doing sauna and also standing to your neck for an hour once a day..we have here a indoor pool through our parks and rec that is only 50 cents to use,..maybe there is something like that there. The water equalizes the salt etc and this along with the link on the modern day dialysis helps with these issues.
Incorporate these foods that help the kidneys into your diet
http://curezone.com/forums/fm.asp?i=1224285#i
I would do the incurables if I was you or go to lots of juicing an 100% raw vegan whole foods or start transitioning there.
I would strongly suggest reading my thread there in its entirety taking notes while doing it and also checking out at least Dr Neil Bernard's book and doing a big diet change.
You have to do as much as possible to avoid dialysis as it increases your risk of heart attack 30 times My mom had 9 heart attacks in 2 years and had no prior history of heart disease.
If you have a place there which sells bulk herbs they can be very cheap..making a tinctures you can get a lot depending on ho much vodka you have to buy but once tinctured it is good for many decades so always on hand.
Buying more produce in season and at wholesale place san farmer;s markets and less animal products is generally cheaper.
Now some food pantries are having free produce giveaways that anyone can use--they do not usually require any thing more than id or sometimes not even that, Buy a cheap juicer at thrift store. Food processors are also good hen eating a lot of produce to make pates and slice things.
Maybe taking something like organic horse chestnut or butcher's broom tinctures will help with the pain you are having They are kind of made for this.
But just putting a Band-Aid on will not help much as this will get worst with time..start planning how to buy, save on and prepare what you need to heal and do as much of the stuff I posted and all of the incurables and you may well turn this around.
