Downsize back to either 3/4" or possibly 5/8", and do SSS daily. Don't try stretching again for a couple months. Good luck.

What he said. Just some reiteration.
The sound of gun fire so loud and rapid, but it seems to be so quiet around me, and out of nowhere I feel peace cover me. I reach down and reload my ticket home. The taste of cold steel on my lips, and a second later silence fills the January air...

Re: pretty painful

I agree. You need to downsize and baby the hell out of your ears, sss and gently rub on some e-vit oil. And don't stretch again for at least 3-4 months or more.

Re: pretty painful

I would say yes. When there is a tear you need to let your ear rest by downsizing, because you could end up with a weak spot if the tissue doesn't get to heal propperly.
