8g to 6g burning hours after 2 month stretch

[bailylorree]

This is my first time stretching my ears and I’m beyond excited. So today I decided to stretch from an 8g to a 6g because I kept it in for a good amount of time (2 months). The 6g taper definitely had resistance but with a little push it slid in and it hurt like crap. My ears were inflamed and swollen with some stinging but that’s normal so I didn’t think much of it. It’s been about 4 hours and they still have a stinging feeling. There’s no bleeding that I know of. I know that 8g-6g is pretty difficult for some people because it’s a huge jump mm wise.

Has this happened to anyone else between stretches ? Any suggestions or feedback would be appreciated. ❤️
