Kidney problems can cause pain that is thought to be low back, however, since someone gave a cortisone shot, I presume they did an MRI scan and saw nerve impingement.
For nutritional management of pain, there is some information on the www.hufa.org website. Scroll down the first page and click on the pain link.

There's an electronic pain device that's implanted just under the skin at the site of the pain which blocks the nerve pain signals from reaching the brain. I don't know what it's called, but Jerry Lewis (comedian) has one for his debilitating back pain. He said (on the Larry King Sow about a year ago) that he was pain-free for the first time in over 20 years, thanks to this device. Mention this to your family doc or a neurosurgeon. Hope your loved one gets some relief soon.
