Report this to your home training muse and nephrologist. Ask if they can see if the tip of your catheter is out of the correct position. Sometimes leaving in some fluid helps to allow the catheter to float easier.

Oh how I can relate the drain pain made me go down on my knee I would have to pinch my tube to give me some relief . My nurse always said if it doesn’t get better they may have to reposition the catheter. But the doct like to give it a few months . I never thought it would go away but it didn’t still have some pain but not like the beginning I been doing pd since February. Probably took 4 months
Are you going to go on the cycler I don’t have as much pain on the cycler
Hi
Please check the fluid colour it’s normal or cloudy if cloudy means check the cell count and culture in the fluid. maybe it’s called a Peritonitis starting stage getting abdominal pain and loose stroke also
