2-3 times a day? So you want to be a fuckin fighter?

Allow me to explain how much draining cauli sucks.

You cannot numb your ear unless you go to an actual physician no matter how much ice etc you put on it, it won’t numb. You take a syringe that is relatively large gauge (size of the needle) and you have to insert it horizontally into the portion of the ear you want to drain.

Now, I don’t mind giving blood etc etc and I don’t mind needles and all that, but when a syringe like that goes into your ear and starts sucking as hard as possible while pieces of thick blood/bits of cartilage and everything are forced through a vacuum and then the syringe must be moved around inside the ear in order to break other pockets of congealed blood to suck out… well then I am just not a fan; I’ve done it quite a few times and it never gets easier or better and the ear just refills eventually anyhow until you get it to completely harden.

Depending on how large the ear gets you can repeat the process with like 3-4 syringes full of nasty ass blood and cartilage and it’s not a fun process; after you get everything out you need to wrap your head essentially and keep an assload of pressure on the ear to make sure blood doesn’t rush back in, the ear is already tender as hell due to the injury and the syringe work and pressure hurts like hell. It especially sucks because I don’t drink and thus cannot be drunk when I get it done which I’m sure helps mitigate the pain quite a bit…

Cauliflower ear sucks, if you train in grappling or striking… buy some damn headgear and f’n wear it.
