Hi Chungdak,

Seems like you are having a difficult time.

Surprised that you were given antibiotics to prevent peritonitis as the hospital would normally check you exchange bad and blood test ( I had peritonitis 7 times so I understand a little about it)

As soon as I started CAPD I had pains in my knees and calfs, still do 20 months later and it is painful to walk T times, improves as I walk more. Not yet able to find a cause yet but persevere with a physiology at the moment.

CAPD has worked for me but have just this week started heamo due to to many peritonitis infections.

Persevere with a positive outlook and I am sure you will improve. Important to talk with you pd team about any problems.

Best wishes

Philip
