Pierced 4 days ago, can I change out heavy jewelry?

[allendante96]

OK well I got peirced at 8g about 4 days ago. The thing is the jewelry the piercer gave me (the only 8g piece he had that wasn't acrylic, captive bead hoops) is real heavy and I keep hitting them because they hang low. I was wondering if I sterilize everything if I could put these light 8g surgical steel screw on tunnels in so I wouldn't bang them as much and wouldn't stretch my freshly pierced ears as bad as these, lol. Thanks!

Personally, I would do it.
There's a lot of people who will caution you not to change jewelry so soon, but if your ears are being irritated by the heavy jewelry, it will take exponentially longer to heal.
My vote is do it!
