Hi, I have a PD pt. who suffers from drain and fill pain. At her prior dialysis unit, she was given NaBicarb to inject into her fill bags, and it seemed to help. However, she didn't have to pay for it. Here, she is having to pay for it and she is on a fixed income, so I'm wondering if she first, may have another option to eliminate the pain? Thanks

Have you tried physioneal solution (Baxter product)? A few of our patients have found this has helped.
