To the OP, could you please share the outcome of your ER visit/treatment with the board? Not only do I want to see if you're doing okay, but I'm curious as to how the treatment is going, and if they anaesthetized you for the lancing/draining procedure, because I couldn't imagine the pain of being conscious through that in your situation. I'd also like to know how you recover from this. As most of us use gear from UGL's, it's very important that we know the potential consequences of deep tissue abcesses/infections. If you could share your experience with us, we would all benefit tremendously.

Thanks,
