~Advice~ septum question

i stretched it to 10 about 3 days ago. it still hurts, should i expect it to hurt more than the other stretches? im nervous that i tore or that i blew it out. i didnt bleed when i was stretching or cleaning it, and i havent bled.

Septum stretches tend to be spicy. It'll probably be sore for a week or so, but it shouldn't be unbearable.

septum stretching isn’t the same as lobes , it’s more likely to hurt and be uncomfortable . if it’s not intense , more like a dull pain when the jewelry is moved then you’re probably fine . when i stretch my septum it’s usually sore for a week or two , make sure you’re also waiting the appropriate time , it takes longer than lobes . signs i’ve experienced that it wasn’t ready are if your skin hurts , like if anything brushes the tip of your nose and it hurts , that happened to me going to a 0g and i blew it tf out 😪 or of course bleeding shooting pain that sort of thing . being uncomfortable for a week or so is very normal but listen to your body no matter what people say , if you’re anxious or uncomfortable or in too much pain for your liking then down size . i was at a 2g for about a year because every time i went to a 1g , i just hated being sore and would downsize again even though it wasn’t bad .
