My Beautiful Couliflower Ears

[lopezma]

Besides getting them operated, what do you all do? Tonight I'm hurting! Yes! We wear ear guards, but sometimes I get way into the class and forget to wear them, and then there are the competitions. I've had them operated on before - they cut it open, drain it, stitch it through, and then for about three days you walk around with a small piece of cotton or clamp in your ear. Is there anything you all know about (home remedies) to ease some of the pain?

get a syringe from a pharmacy and use it to drain your ear yourself whenever this happens.

after class hold a hot water bottle up to them, this keeps them from forming, from what i hear. Im surprised you dont want to look like Randy Couture

I know a shitload of guys that don't have vege ears and they are mma guys and have wrestled from childhood through highschool, also putting your ears/head thAT CLOSE TO THE RING FLOOR/MAT MEANS YOUR HEAD HAS NO ROOM TO FLEX WHEN THE GUY PUNCHES YOU. Sorry I hit the caps lock button

Thanks for the info guys. This is what I know:
I know of guys that have done the syringe deal, and even go to Mex. and get them done cheaper. In the US ear doc. are walking away from that (draining the ear) because it comes back a lot easier than operating it. I'll try the hot water bottle deal. I respect Randy Couture but he does have some funky ears. Thanks!

I dunno... If she's been training enough to get them, she could probably kick my arse on the ground. That's kind of attractive. I guess it depends on her personality.

[Sensei Saki]

Me either.That is a hypothetical question.Makes sense to me.
Try saying that with more or less context.

[aseepish]

I wonder if Sensei Saki has Cauliflower ears.

this is true since most women are soulless and shallow and only like things they are told to like by television and celebrities, and broken ears arent one of those. but hey, just mabye u will find a women who isnt just all style and no substance but probobly not.

-look at randy couture, if you see a guy with ears like his, dont **** with him

Washing soda crystals inside a towel - hold it up against your ear, and leave it there for a few hours (i.e. use it as a pillow and go to sleep on it).

This will drain the ears.

Also helps for other swelling - I used it on my knee when I f'd it up a few years ago. The best part was the next day, when the crystals were all wet with the liquid that had been inside my knee the night before, and I was chasing my friend around yelling "KNEE JUICE!!! KNEE JUICE!!!"

It will drain the liquid trough the skin? wow!

Washing soda crystals is like laundry detergent?

[cakegirl]

Yep, it will drain it through the skin.

It's not laundry detergent, though. That will probably just make you clean and smell fresh like a forest. It's a different thing, I think originally designed to soften hard water or something... Here in Australia, it's kind of hard to get, but my coach and I (as well as the masseur who was the one to put it on my knee), when we see it, we buy the entire stock from the store!
