Piercings

I had my ears first pierced when I was a baby, so I don't really remember what it was like. I do know that the piercing gun was used on my ears, which most experts do not recommend using. I got my second holes in both ears and bars in my nipples about two months ago at a tattoo parlor, where they used needles and tongs for piercings. It wasn't really all that painful, just a momentary stinging sensation, then a dull burning sensation. The real pain comes after when you try to sleep as usual on your stomach and your boobs are squished causing massive nipple pain, and your ear is rubbing against your arm causing more pain. If I was capable of sleeping any other way I would have, but I am unfortunately a creature of habit. I would often knock my boobs by accident and lord did it hurt! If you've ever seen Family Guy, remember that scene where Lois falls on her boobs and clutches them, groaning on the sidewalk? Yeah that was me, all day every day for a month. Wearing sports bras helped a lot with limiting movement, so it really helped to limit rubbing and knocking my boobs against things. The pain is now mostly gone, although a little bit remains. I've been cleaning my piercings diligently every day since I got them with saline solution, but there's still a small amount of pus coming out. Most websites say that depending on the color of the pus, it could either be healing or infected. I think they're just healing, but just to be safe I'll be having my doctor check them when I go in for my next visit.
