Hi,
In my opinion, you should go for KFT. As joint pain can be a symptom of chronic kidney disease. In stage 3 kidney disease, the kidney functions are decreased to a moderate level.
It is very common for the calcium to be deposited in the surrounding soft joint tissues in CKD. Also, decreased clearance of uric acid from the body due to impaired kidney function may give rise to increased uric acid level and increased uric acid level has been associated very frequently with joint pain.
Therefore, a comprehensive approach with proper evaluation for kidney functions as well as any rheumatological or auto-immune etiology for joint pain and also for kidney pain is advised and treatment done accordingly under guidance of your doctor.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
