Two days ago, I stretched my ears from a 16g to a 14g. There wasn't an abnormal amount of pain or any bleeding when I did it, so I thought it was a normal stretch. But today when I went to move the tapers around a bit to clean them, one of them was stuck. I cleaned around it really well, did a salt soak, and made sure there wasn't any crusty stuff around either side of it. When I tried to move it again, it still wouldn't budge. It can spin a tiny bit, but even then it kind of hurts to do it and it takes a lot of effort. Now it's pretty red and a bit swollen. Is any of this normal? Should I wait a few days before trying to move it again?
Thanks!

Re: Problem with fresh stretch--help please!
A couple of questions,
What material are the tapers ?
Why are you not putting in a plug or tunnel after you have stretched as the taper is only supposed to be used to enlarge the hole and not be left in - bet its a right pain sleeping with them in !
Just a few thoughts.
