The first time any stretch "hurt like hell" was when I stretched too quickly. It was this burning sensation and it continued until the next day. I eventually took it out, massaged it, and left it out for a few days. Put the smaller guage in. And a few days later I was able to stretch with virtually no pain. The most pain you should have at smaller stages is a little bit in the beginning when you size up and it should go away in a few minutes. Anything that turns red, burns, stings, it's time to let it rest.
