Hi all, I'm new to this group and I have a question: Started dialysis 5 months ago and notice I have pins and needles in my fingers during the night after dialysis, also pains like arthritis in both hands. It goes away the next day. Had anyone else experienced this?Many thanks in advance ☺️

Mention it to your doctor...I suffer similar problems (28 yrs on haemo)... wearing gloves at night to keep your hand warm may help.Steal syndrome is a potential cause ( fistula causing limited blood flow to your hand) but make your doctor aware first for correct diagnosis - don't ignore it.
