Ears pierced - when does the pain stop?

Hi all,

I got my second pair of piercings on my ears on Wednesday and just wanted to know when they will stop hurting :frown:

I don't remember when it stopped last time because I was 2.

They still hurt when I touch them or when my top rubs against them when I change. :frown:

But on the plus side they do look pretty awesome :biggrin:

Just keep bathing them in warm salt water and take an ibuprofen or something just to take the edge off the pain for now :smile:

It stops after about a day normally. My piercings have always healed very well though.

Left ear 9 piercings.... running all the way up the ear.

Yeh, they should stop hurting after about 20 or 30 seconds to be honest. Are you cleaning them ok? I got my nose pierced a few weeks ago and I was fine in less than ten minutes.

Indeed. It should stop hurting about 30 seconds after they've done it.

If you mean how long before it stops hurting when you lay on it etc - usually a few weeks.

Absolute idiots... I think the question was referring to the fact that their is some discomfort for a couple of days afterwards. 😒 I just had my 3rds done 2 days ago, they're still a bit tender when I touch them and when I lie on them, but it's usually only a couple of days before that goes away

I got my second ear piercings done a couple of days ago and they ache a bit when I clean them or lay on my side, is this normal or should I see a doctor? They were done with a gun not a needle.

That's completely normal. Keep an eye on them and if the skin surrounding the piercing goes red, it starts hurting without being touched etc then see a doctor 😊
