    ok, must not have been tophus then – as nothing coming to the surface (like the photos I have been seeing on google), just deep inside the bunion after I poke!  Clear fluid filled with the 'maggots' is the norm.

    I'll have to take some photos next time – although last time was a few yearas ago, lets hope next time will be a few years too!

    and this battle is won – no longer red and angry looking, and nothing left to squeeze outLaugh

    so this battle is won, this time.  Must be more careful with the weights in future, as this was just dumb – from the weight to the needles…!!

    Hey Cjeezy – I am guessing about the tophi – does that have to be hard – or the 'tiny white maggots', as that is all that he found in there.

    Glad I am not the only desperate man with a needle.  Yes, I clean and use antiseptic creams etc too, and keeping touching wood, no infections, no pain, and another good eruption this morning.  I must be a goul, or should have been a doctor, I love this 'self treatment' – whcih is a bonus, something 'good' out of this bad situation!!

    although looking at all the photos on google has been turning my stomach  – there is always someone worse off than you, in everything in life eh!

    lol, I'll take some photos tomorrow at my lunchtime 'squeeze'!!

    Good dark red blood still coming out at the squeeze too, and no hot infection feeling.  No doubt local doc will have a good laugh if I do come down with an infection, but touch wood, cross fingers and all that, I won't!!

    and my left toe, which never got as deformed is still good as gold.
