<< Hi,

so. For over three weeks its been very difficult to insert tube. Once urine
flow is started it looks clear not infected. Any of you guys have any
suggestions.? Ive been doing the ibuprofen thing trying to help the situation.
Thank

Consider, 2% zilocaine in a tube. A little goes along way. A little on the
tip of the cath before insert will aid in the process. You could be having a
spasm of the muscle
that controls the bladder. A couple of very slow deep breathes will help
relax the muscle during the cath process.
Best Wishes
