Morning, my mum has Bladder cancer and following a procedure has been sent home with a catheter bag for a week. I was able to connect the night bag last night which successfully drained (alot) of urine overnight. I have removed it just now and mum is functioning with her day bag. 

The problem i have is that the night bag will not empty, I've tried everything i can think of. There are no kinks in the tube, I have held the bag up to aid draining, effectively tried to 'milk' the urine down the tube but nothing will work

I do have spare night bags so not an emergency but I dont have enough to last the week so am worrying 

Any tips greatfully received and thanks in advance
