Ear lacking in elastic ability ?!

I've been stretching my ears for a few months now, maybe about 3. Si far I've started at 1.6mm and reached a 6mm. It's been fine up to now, when I decided that slowly stretching on one taper was a waste of my time and like a smart ass, slammed it through my ear. Now my ear feels like it's dying, and I'm downing paracetamol to stop the pain.

I don't want to take them out or downsize because I feel that would just take so much time and I'm really impatient. Is there any way for me to make my ears more elastic? I can't even twist the taper in my ear, that's how resistant my ears are being. Usually it stings a little but wears off, I've gotten used to my ears being quite resistant, but now I'm worried to move from the 6mm to 8mm when my ears can't even handle a 5mm to 6mm jump :(

HELPPPPPP pleaseeeeeeee

The Pain Should Stop entirely In Just A Few Days In The Mean Time I'ed Grab The Tapers And Nudge It Up And Down To free Up some Room, And Whenever You Go To Shower Massage You're Ears.. If The Swelling Doesn't Go Down In A Few Days Try Keeping Them Out For A few Hours And Re Stretch Em' :)

Patience is key. Just downsize to 5mm for a few weeks and the. Tape back up instead of continuing to traumatized your ears. How long have you been waiting between stretches? Also, unlike the previous post states, stretching shouldn't be painful. If you are experiencing pain, you are injuring yourself and causing scarring. This will decrease the elasticity of your ears over time.

Massaging in Olive oil or Jobaba oil will help, they have regenerative qualities that will help your ears heal, however they are not some miracle cream that will let you skip sizes/proper healing techniques. I do recommend you use one as well as sea salt baths and earlobe massages to get some of that strength back into your lobes as it sounds like you have caused some major discomfort. I would take the taper out, know you don't want to hear that, but you should take a look at your hole, earlobe in general, and let it relax some
