So, I've had my ears pierced with 18 ga for 4 years and I decided that I wanted to stretch them. I got a pair of 14 ga and got it in my right ear just fine. Then came my left ear, no matter what I did they just would not go in. I used a ton of force hoping that I could somehow just push it through. I finally stopped and noticed the hole where I was trying to put the piercing was bleeding. It only left a few tiny spots on a tissue. The next morning I woke up and had a little crusty blood, so I took out the 18 ga that I had put back in the night before, cleaned off the blood, and attempted to put the 18's back in. I had a little touble putting them back in. Later in the day I took them out again after doing a sea salt soak and noticed that towards the back felt kind of hard.
Did I do something really bad to my ears, or will this just heal in time?

If you want to stretch your ears, you MUST have it done by a professional piercer! Don't attempt to do it yourself again, it's a slow and delicate process. You may be developing a keloid on your ear from the tear, take a vitamin E pill every day and go see a piercer about continuing the stretching process!
P.S. if you do have a keloid and it doesn't go away, there are laser treatments that can help with that.

don't worry- you'll heal up. I've done the same thing before. just use ur regular ear rings and keep treating it- otherwise it will get infectied. don't worry to much =]]
