Dear Patient,

There can be many reasons for this, it's hard to suggest a particular test for it without knowing everything. Are pain and stiffness in these joints after dialysis or at other times too? If it's daily then you can consider asking a rheumatologist about this. Do you have any other health condition like diabetes? What was your recent vitamin B12 level?
Have you considered asking your GP about this? Kindly refer to a general practitioner who can guide you accordingly.
