You felt it pop. That's the worst it's going to get. The expander has split your palate--the roof cartilege of your upper mouth. Now all it will do is stay in place and hold it there until the cartilege in the roof of your mouth heals over. No more pressure or pain. It'll stay just like it is.
In the meantime, eat some ice cream and hold it up to the roof of your mouth. Take 2 ibuprofen every 6 hours. Drink something with crushed ice and hold it in your mouth so that the roof of your mouth gets a little less inflamed and painful.
A lot of us had to pay that price to get a lovely smile. It will be worth it when you look at your graduation pictures. And your wedding pictures--you'll have a 100watt smile.
Take care,

Try some Ibuprofen (200-400 mg). It will help with the pain until you get used to it.
