cauliflower ear

[proxy]

I've wrestled and played judo for most of my life and I've never gotten coliflower ear. It makes me somewhat sad, honestly.

I say - keep the couliflower ear. It's a badge of honor.

get it drained and wear ear guards

Find a descent ENT and get it drained. Don't train while it is healing or you will just have to go through the process again.

shoot some heroin into it, then cut that fucker off, lol jk, i say ice 20 min, then take it off for 10, and do that for about 3 hours a day, on and off, then if it doesnt work, the drain it slightly from the lobe in the middle of it, like on the side edge (thats just if u feel forming, such a an erection type thing on ure ear.)

lol, but it happened to me and it seemed to work pretty good.

Get it drained. When I was in Rugby a lot of the guys got it (not me, I was inside flanker), to varying degrees. That was where I saw the worst EVER, and I do mean ever, far worse than any MMA athlete I have ever seen. It was so swollen that there wasn't even a recongizable ear, only a mound of flesh with folds in it, size wise you would have been looking at half a tennisball (we measured by holding one up and being frightened).

[p_ahn]

why won't you go see a fucking doctor instead of asking on sherdog??
LOL

 

[Applejack]

im gonna see if the swelling goes down in few days b4 i decide on if ill have it drained

The swelling will not go down! Drain it TODAY as soon as you can see a DR. If you take too long the damage will stay that way.

Get it drained, and buy headgear to train. Most fighters wear it while training.

this is a mma forum. dont sound like such a pussy. it's nothing pliers couldn't handle.

honestly, I'm sure it would hurt like hell if it was infected. maybe not, but probably.

go to a good doc and have him use lidocaine. no need for heavier drugs.
