How do you dislocate your ear

You cannot “dislocate” your ear. However, loud noises, infections, head injuries, brain damage and genetic diseases may cause people to lose some or all of their ability to hear. Hearing loss is also common in older people.

does getting your ear lobes pierced hurt?

Q: I am getting them pierced this friday(no matter what) and I need to know how it feels like. I understand there is no comparison but I have broken both my femur’s, broke my pelvis, fractured my skull, dislocated something in my neck, and broke 6 of my fingers. I can take a good beating but I just need to know how bad it feels and how long it lasts. And I need to know how Gauges work. When you get your ears pierced it a size 20, I am going to keep my earing in for about six weeks cleaning and turning it, then after six weeks i will by a size 18 gauge. Does it hurt to rip it through? thanks. Oh and also I am a male, 13 years old, turning 14 in a few months.

A: If you’ve dealt with all that, then I’m sure you will be fine. It’s just a pinch. Though I’m sure you had some pretty strong narcotics to deal with the pain from those broken bones. With this you won’t, but still, this will be NOTHING compared to that. They do throb for a few days though. That’s the worst of it.http://p196.ezboard.com/Why-Piercing-Guns-are-Dangerous/fbodypiercingtattooingandbodymodificationfrm24.showMessage?topicID=3139.topic^ Why guns are dangerous.You need to make sure you get your ears pierced with a needle! Guns are not safe for piercings. They cannot be sterilized- only santitized… there’s a huge difference.The studs used for earrings when you get pierced by a gun, are NOT okay to be used in piercings. They are of very low quality metal (which cause a higher risk for infection and allergic reactions), they are not long enough to accommodate for the swelling, and the backs do not allow the piercings to drain… which then leads to the lymph being pushed back into the piercing’s hole. That can lead to irritation and/or infection.Lymph is what wounds drain when they are healing. It’s a light green, yellow, or white color. It’s normal so, don’t be alarmed.An analogy (correct me if I’m using the wrong term here..?) I like to use for guns vs. needles, is:-A gun is like a surgeon operating with everyday scissors.They are of cheap metal, cannot be sterilized, and the incision would be very jagged & uneven. Would you want that in your body?-A needle is like a surgeon operating with a scalpel. It’s safe, sterile, and leaves an even incision.The only jewelry safe to use in lobe piercings are:curved barbells (aka banana bar/bell), circular barbells (aka horseshoe rings), twists (aka spirals), flesh tunnels/plugs, and CBRs (aka captive bead rings, hoop, ring).The proper materials for jewelry are:316L/316LVM Surgical Stainless Steel, Titanium, and glass.Acrylic is not suitable for piercings, especially while healing.PTFE can be used, but it’s usually used in healed piercings, and only for temporary purposes (like surgery, x-rays, MRIs).If you are pierced with a needle, you can get pierced initially at any gauge you choose (up to usually 4g, or 2g- depends on the piercer’s preference). You wouldn’t have to go through so much stretching. There is no need to be pierced as small as 20g, or 18g.Here is a Gauge Chart: (Top to Bottom – Smallest Gauge to Largest)16ga / 1.3mm14ga / 1.6mm12ga / 2.0mm10ga / 2.5mm8ga / 3.2mm6ga / 4.1mm4ga / 5.1mm(2g is generally considered ‘the point of no return.’ As in, will not close up all the way again)2ga / 1/4″ / 6.35mm0ga / 5/16″ / 7.9mm00ga / 3/8″ / 9.5mm000ga / 7/16″ / 11.1mm(These are referred to in inches)1/2″ / 12.7mm9/16″ / 14.2mm5/8″ / 15.8mm11/16″ / 17.4mm3/4″ / 19.0mm13/16″ / 20.6mm7/8″ / 22.2mm15/16″ / 23.8mm1″ / 25.4mmYou must make sure you do the proper aftercare instructions.An all-natural, fragrance-free, and dye-free soap. Crazy Chameleon, Provon, Derma Cleanse, and Dr. Bronner’s are good options. You clean with soap 1-2 times a day.You do warm sea salt soaks 1-2 times a day, as well.It must be NON-iodized. You cannot use table salt either. It’s way too harsh.You can get sea salt in grocery stores, pharmacies, or online.(Ukrops, Whole Foods, Walgreens, http://www.bodyartforms.com )You use a pinch of salt, for every 8 ounces of hot water.Soak for 15-30 minutes, and then rinse WELL.Never use any alcohol, peroxide, or ointments on your piercings.They are way too harsh, and ointments block oxygen flow, which is needed for piercings to heal.Good luck with your piercings. =)

I fell and my armpit caught me. And now my shoulder really hurts. Should I go to the doctor?

Q: You know how you can trip over your shoelace? Well, I was wearing Eeyore slippers, and they had ears. I was trying to take them off, and well…my right armpit caught my fall. (Huh? Lift your arm above your head and then lean against the wall.) I can life my shoulder above my head so it’s not dislocated, and I can put it in all the normal positions, but if I pretend I’m superman to the rescue (flying in the air or whatever, arms straight out), it really, really hurts. But I can do this weird popping thing with this shoulder and it hurts if I try it…maybe that’s why…hmmm. Just noticed that. It’s probably just a sprain, right? Because I get hurt all the time…I go to the ER like, 3 times a year! I don’t want to go again, have an X-Ray, and then the doctors say to me, “Oh, It’s fine. Go take some advil and rest it for a couple of days.” I have had that happen waaay too many times. I don’t know. Help?

A: You should REALLY see a doctor, because if it “pops” as you say, with pain accompanying, it’s probably dislocated.Judging by your account, dislocation sounds very probable. Still, better safe that sorry.
