Check diet, kidneys: Can't tell here. Could be diet related, including hydration/fluid atatus; could be other issues. See your doc. Excess protein, especially animal protein can increase uric acid levels, as can high simple sugar load, and alcohol.

Uric acid: Uric acid is a cause of joint pain, usually quite severe joint pain, particularly in the large toe or ankle, but it can affect other joints. It does not, however, directly cause muscle pain nor lethargy. You should be looking for other causes of these symptoms.
