So, on Tuesday I got my rook pierced. All very clean, professional, they used a hollow needle, I've been there before, blah blah blah. But on Wednesday, the bottom ball of my barbell fell off. I couldn't screw it back on because a) the rook is in a really awkward place and b) it was tender from JUST being pierced. I ended up going back to the piercers' the same day so they could fix it. My piercer screwed the ball back on but in the process had to twist my ear super painfully to get it tight and to make sure that it would stay on. Since that day (it is now Sunday)my ear has been red, puffy, and extremely tender. I'm terrified that I've gotten an infection. I'm doing all the recommended sea salt soaks and cleaning it. I've never seen any pus, nor has it bled. I just have the normal "crusties" that are light yellow. But it hurts worse than any piercing I've had. I would go back to my piercer and ask him to take a look at it, but the place is REALLY far away and sort of an inconvenience to drive to. So, do you guys think the piercer just irritated it (maybe tore it a bit)? Or could it be infected? :( (link)

Thats really weird, the EXACT same scenario happened to me.. On Tuesday, This week (3 days ago)
i got both my rooks pierced. shortly after leaving the shop i noticed the bottom ball on my rook had fallen off. i went back the next day and had my piercer screw on another ball, which AGAIN fell off. it was really tender and hurt alot while he was putting it back on.
now for the past two days i've experienced a throbbing pain. if i spray h2Ocean spray on it it'll temporarily relieve the pain, but i'm unsure iof how to clean such a snug piercing, especially sinc eit's so tender if anythig touches it it hurts liek fuck.
Thankyou to the guy who answered thism, that was helpful. Ithink I'm going to return to my piercer in the next few days and see whats up and get some more advice. It's a very beautiful piercing and i would hate to have to take them out :(
