Question about cauliflower ear

Muay Tired - Thanks a lot, Empire! I clicked on that "article" while at work and had to talk to my supervisor about visiting "man-sites" on the internet.



I'm sure it's not the first time.

wow, empire has gotten me 3 out of 3 times now, bravo sir

Muay Tired - for real?

sorry broseph.

i thought cauliflower ear causing cancer would've cued everyone in.

the fact that shen gave it credibility was clue number 2.

mate.

for real though, if it caused you issues, i'll be glad to talk to your supervisor... for real. i won't even talk w/ a lisp.

It was teh "cnn" and "oncology" that gave it credibility.

if i used "fox" and "cancershit" it would've gave it away.

Ridgeback -  Wearing a kimono can make a big difference as far as abrasion of the ear. 

Even worse is when your ear starts to pull away.  I had a nice gash behind my ear where it started to come off.  <br type="_moz" />



HOLY CRAP!! I had the same thing happen to me. I was on bottom half and the guy was trying to work a whizzer, slid his arm back and sliced my ear open, drove myself to the ER and waited for them to stitch it back on (4-6 stitches later it was all better)

crazy that this happened to anyone else

I know a wrestler who has drained his ears at least 20 times and they look normal

I had the same , I had to get 3 stitches behind my ear , the doctor battled to stitch it up , its all good now .


Holy crap, this can actually happen?!?!


Yeah, my left ear is a mess. Cauliflower ear (not major, as I drained it, but noticeable), and it has "torn away" a bit. Every time it heals up, it will rip again. Sucks.

Funny part is that I have been training Jiu-Jitsu for closing in on 14 years, and I had no problems with my ears until 3 years ago.

Posture, prevent the crossface, and tap.<br /><br />Ta-farking-DAHHHHH!!!! ;)

Naw, I was kidding about the supervisor and all that. Kind of an inside joke on my part: we used to have a guy here at work who liked bodybuilding sites and kept getting viruses. The supervisor told him it was from visiting "all those man sites."

That was a good one, though. I don't usually fall for the old fake-url-but-it's-really-matbattle ruse. You got me!

I just remembered the last grappling tournament I was at, I saw a kid, no more than 8 years old with golf ball sized cauliflower on one side of his head. It was nasty. Phone Post


How much blood is worth draining? I just noticed my upper ear feels a little squishy and hot/sore after a night of guillotine variations. There is about a quarter inch of fluid inside near the top. Should I be going to the doctor? I'm not worried about how it looks, I just don't want to have ears that are constantly breaking open in a few years.
