Hi, I had my ear lobes pierced professionally about a year ago. I like the small barbells that I was originally pierced with so I have not removed them since they were put in. Now that I want to change them out, however, I have been unable to twist out the back ball for one of the barbell earrings; the other twists off just fine. I have cleaned the area and ensured there is no build up preventing the small ball from twisting. I have also had friends try to help twist it off with no luck. My ear is also not infected, so the only problem seems to be with the screw-back. The front ball is stationary, whereas the second back is the one that should turn off eventually. For the one that works, I can simply hold the front ball and turn the back one counter-clockwise and it comes off easily. Any advice for how to get the other one moving, and ultimately remove the backing? Thanks! -liz
