Cauliflower ear

[sharpshooter1286]

Has anyone had any experience with this? My ear sorta hurts inside the lobe, and I'm extremely worried about it. I haven't worn my headgear every day at wrestling, and I'm positive that my ear has been rubbed up against/ hit against stuff. It does have the normal pinkish color, and I can't tell if theres swelling or not, which is good I think because I don't see any swelling at all. It hurts when I rub it with my fingers. Im going to get it checked out ASAP.

[tropical_fishy]

you have to go to the doctor and get all the fluid drained out, or else it gets all infected and other funness.

next time wear your freaking headgear.

meh, I have a buddy whose into MMA, and he claims chicks dig it. Even if they don't, pretty much any dude will know you are "one with whom one should not screw."

i got that crap in gym class a few years ago just from wrestling for a couple days. the upper part of my ear is hard now but i guess it doesnt really matter. maybe some people arent as lucky as i was though.

[sharpshooter1286]

funny, my dad just told me it takes years of rubbing and stuff to the ears before you actually get it.

as a female, I say no to cauliflower ear.

it really doesn't make you look badass.

the only treatment for it is......prevention.

You cant get rid of it once you have it, maybe plastic surgery. But then you will have michael jackson ears and run the risk of looking like an elf.

I train in jiu-jitsu and have not bought headgear yet, 1st time I have a sore ear...I am buying some headgear.

pshhh. Headgear is overrated, I never wear mine or neepads. whats you weight class

[sharpshooter1286]

Well I'm supposed to be 215, but we don't have a heavyweight so I'm actually the 275 as well. AND this is my first year wrestling, yet I still have quite a few wins at 275, I just tire the big fat boys out and then I can do whatever I want.

Exactly. After a while I got used to it.

Action Figure, I'm 5'7", 125 lbs. I love my weightclass.

Quit trying to sound like a badass. Headgear's required for a reason. Kneepads, up to the person, but they do come in handy. I was actually a LOT more agile once I started wearing mine. They're good for ya, give 'em a shot youngin

my friend got it once when he wrestled it was sick looking. When he got it drained he had to have like a paper towel thing stapled to his ear for liek a week.

[dirty_canadian4894]

a friend of mine has it, you cant really tell though, his parents own the local paintball field that i work at and he tried draining the crap out of it on his own and he says that that worked fine.

he always wears his headgear.
