Well, I ended up going to the piercers on wednesday about my tongue. The barbell had by this stage completely disappeared. No, not normal! So if you see it starting to happen - go get it checked quickly!!!! You will need a longer bar! :) I had done all the right things and followed the after care, but my tongue just swelled excessively for whatever

When I got my tongue done (about a hundred million years ago) they put the longer bar in right away -- which I hated at first but then realized soon why they did that. I think it took a good week or so for the swelling to go down and I could switch to the shorter, regular sized bar. I assume this was standard?

Glad yours is better though!

Yeah they put a longer bar in to start with, but my tongue just got extra swelly and the long bar wasn't long enough!!! :) So now I have an even longer bar in! :) I get it changed on thursday (hopefully) to the shorter one, assuming it is all healed and good and the piercer is happy. :D

I thought that was the problem, that's a massive upsize! Glad to hear you're on the mend so keep hydrated, keep up with the vitamins & you'll be right in no time.
