APD Abdominal Pain
Posted: Wed Jun 15, 2016 2:44 pm
Hello Again,
I transferred from CAPD to APD a couple of days ago. It is working well, with few alarms, and good clearance. But I feel like my abdomen has been strained. Like a muscular ache. My nurse says it is my system getting used to a pump removing the fluid instead of gravity, and I need to allow 2 weeks to get used to APD. I am sure she is absolutely right, but I just wondered if others have experienced the same and did it improve quite quickly.
