how swollen is it? btw - my doctor warned me multiple times of an infection from the needle used in draining it & that she had treated several ppl in the past with antibiotics via an IV drip. so, not a decision to take lightly. I gladly had mine drained twice & even got a small injection of steroids & never got an infection
