Massaging a fresh stretch can irritate it. Generally right after a stretch, I leave my piercing alone. I wash it once a day and then try not to mess with it. Anyway, it sounds like your ears weren't ready for the stretch. When in doubt give it a little more time.
If your ear gets swollen, red I'd there is any discharge, go back to a 14g and let it heal, then give it another go-round.
Best of luck!
Battle not with monsters lest ye become a monster; and if you gaze into the abyss the abyss gazes into you.
