but he was closed today, will be closed tomorrow, and of cousre for Christmas. I would appreciate opinions here, if at all possible.
I had my lip pierced 4 days ago. Last night (Saterday night) my mother was feeding her dog and i had to bend over to get a pen (unfortunately it was near where my mom was, but sort of behind her, so she couldn't see me). Sicne she couldnt see me, you can only guess how much force was behind her hand when she brought the dog food scooper up from almost ground level. Longer story short, she hit me at the bottom of the lip ring, if not the actual skin right below it (the skin that will get "crusty" while healing). She almost burst into tears since the look on my face was pure pain. I couldnt let her cry sicne i would feel horribe about making her cry. :-( I havent told her, but i can't really it unless i clean it. It also hurts and when i accidently moved it with my tougue to lipe my lip, ihit it and i think the hole started to bleed. its swollen

and hurts a decent amount. It also looks "angry'' (like if you accidently hit your arm, it can get pink and not nice looking). I dont know if its part of the healing process or what, but it DID NOT hurt before she accidently wacked me...any thoughts beside laughing at me?!?!? (oh, by all mena feel free to laugh, like i said, i did.)

Ow that sounds painful!
I'd just baby it like crazy until you can see your piercer- do sea salt soaks twice a day for ten minutes.
Try not to touch it (or get it bumped again!)
If it is really painful take 4 ibuprophen every 4-5 hours. That should cause the pain/swelling to go down. Although it does thin your blood, so you may get more bleeding.
Best of luck! I feel for ya, I have never had that happen with any new piercings but that does not sound like a fun experience!

Eeeek. I had a nasty knock to my cartilage after it was newly pierced. Basically, I was VERY careful not to touch it other than when I was cleaning it. I took a shower before messing with it. That way, when I got out, it was looser. I soaked it in hot water, which helped the swelling.
Be really careful about what you eat, too.

Well whatever ur piercer sent you home with instructions on how to clean it, thats what i would do. if it is still persisting after christmas, go talk to your piercer. Hope this helps :)
