Pop it. You'll feel better. Make sure you use rubbing alcohol, all that. Make two or three holes to prevent it from filling up again.

Ok. Got an 18g needle from work. I will do it. I'm going to take the day off tomorrow anyway though, I have a bike ride Saturday and I want to rest my legs.

Just to add to the 'pop' vote, I always popped my blood blisters, they always seemed to heal quicker IMHO. Plus the relief of the pressure of the fluid was alway so much better.
