This will keep you out of training for a few days to weeks.<br /><br />I would suggest telling a chemist you need some insulin syringes, that you're on holiday and left your extras at home, and of course don't have a prescription with you. If that doesn't work, call around to local MMA gyms or wrestling clubs and see if someone there can drain it for you.<br /><br />In the future, why don't you buy some insulin syringes off the internet and have them handy. Here's a suggestion:<br /><br />http://www.amazon.com/Touch-Insulin-Syringe-Gauge-Count/dp/B0083X6ZZK/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1340201299&sr=8-2&keywords=insulin+syringeGeorgettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08705282002904234217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30740798.post-7475648307042695502012-06-20T08:50:17.937-05:002012-06-20T08:50:17.937-05:00:(

I fear that slicing the ear open, which is the medically more proper technique (and which can also resolve fully hardened cauli ears), would keep me off the mats while it healed.Georgettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08705282002904234217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30740798.post-42765434543707230142010-02-26T10:55:02.098-06:002010-02-26T10:55:02.098-06:00Excellent post.

It hurts more than a needle but drains everything out (they numb it so it doesn't hurt while they do it, but it hurts after - because someone just sliced your ear like a steak). The problem with the little insulin needles is the needle itself is too small, and usually there is more than one pocket of fluid so you have to stick multiple times and still don't always get all of it.BJJ CailĂnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17513043772499828646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30740798.post-12388780181645261952010-02-25T15:02:40.842-06:002010-02-25T15:02:40.842-06:00The first time I got cauliflower ear, I wasn't...The first time I got cauliflower ear, I wasn't sure what it was --- and neither did the doctor. He wanted to give me antibiotics because he thought it was an infection.<br /><br />He then referred me to a plastic surgeon, of all people. The plastic surgeon didn't know what it was either. He suggested that I stop all activity for a few weeks to see if the swelling goes down.<br /><br />He asked me what I was doing again to cause the "condition." I happened to have the Royler and Renzo Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu book with me and he and his nurse flipped through it.... looking at me like, "WHY THE F WOULD YOU DO THIS?"<br /><br />Yes, I finally tried draining my ear, but unfortunately, by then, it was pretty much too late.BJJ Tipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18100242144197819428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30740798.post-29636178560060226922010-02-25T14:35:29.690-06:002010-02-25T14:35:29.690-06:00I've been pretty lucky with the cauliflower. ...I've been pretty lucky with the cauliflower.
