All I Can Say Right Now Is OUCH.....

ShowMe · ‎09-06-2010

It has been ages since I've put any of my pierced earrings on..... Reason being was because of the radiation treatments, PET scans, etc. So, just haven't bothered with them.....until a while ago. Decided to see if I could get them through the holes..... I did, but boy did it hurt on the one ear....the other was ok. But now I will try to wear a different pair every day for a few days. Do have some very pretty ones, and have missed wearing them.

Ouch, indeed! I would make sure to put some in that are posts so that they don't heal up too small, as could happen with wires.

Also, isopropyl alcohol and you probably already know that, too.

@ShowMe, You might find that a wire or the ones without posts are more comfortable. I rarely wear any with posts for just that same reason.

The next time that I hear salt and ice together, it better be in a margarita!

I can sure sympathize....I feel guilty for not wearing them , especially The beautiful ones with heavy turquoise that DH bought me years ago. Painful to go through 😫

Mine all have posts.....except one pair that I got that are Eterna Gold that have the kind where you put it through the hole and then it clamps on..... Oh you know what I'm talking about.

Yes, I know about the alcohol too.

This is not the first time I've had to go through this, but it sure does hurt...... Right now they are feeling fine. Will take them out tonight when I go to bed, but will put them back in right away in the morning.

@chickenbutt......I don't wear any wires. Was always afraid of losing one and not being able to replace it. And I always wear gold posts.....not silver.....

@Azcowgirl.....what a shame you can't wear them. Could you have them remounted to something that will be easier to put on?????

@ShowMe

Now that’s a good idea !😀

Thank you for that !

I also stopped wearing my pierced earrings. I was lazy and also I seemed to lose earrings easily. I think because of being on the phone at work. I was sad that I lost so many nice earrings and just stopped wearing them.

Well, my cousin was getting married. So we were driving 1,200 miles to attend the wedding. I spent the entire time we were driving through Ohio and much of Michigan, trying to get one earring in. I got the first one in easily but the second one took forever.

But I finally got the second earring in. My ear was quite swollen but at least I got both earrings in. Never want to go through that again so I wear studs all the time now.

Hope your ear is OK.

@drizzellla......our experience sounds the same trying to get the one post through. I could get mine to where it was supposed to go through, but it stopped there....I really didn't try to force it, but did finally get it through. And fortunately it didn't swell on me. It is feeling fine now. I do have one pair of gold posts, but just don't wear them too often.....not near as pretty as some others that I have. Do own a few Diamonique pairs.....and really like them. They have gold posts.
