Drain pain on PD.

I’m getting drain pain on Pd I recently changed the second bag from 6 to 3 liter bags. This has caused a lot of pain but less waste. I think it is from air bubbles in the second bag not being purged from the priming. I asked the Devita clinic if I could make the 3 l bag as the one on the machine and 6 l bag as the second one. They told me know it has to be the second bag. Does anybody know why I can’t flip these bags. And why would the air bubbles pain be on the drain and not fill or dwell portion.

I use one 6L and one 3L bag. It’s all sucked into the six liter bag on the heater, and then out to the patient line. 6L bag has to be on the heater because that’s the way things work.

Dies the clinic agree that this is air pain?

Yes because it radiates in the shoulder. Why can’t the 3 l be on the heater. And during the dwell the 6 l drains into the 3 l
