shattered cartilage piercing?

I got my cartilage pierced with a needle nearly 2 weeks ago, i had to have the ring changed as i lost the bead in my CBR, they replaced with a slightly thicker ring however. went from 1.2 to 1.4mm (an accident didnt notice until long after they had put it in). The cartilage in my left ear feels far less stiff than the cartilage in my right ear which has no piercing, it is still a swollen. Has the cartilage shattered? is the fact my cartilage feels less stiff a sign that my cartilage is collapsing?

thankyou.

    well iv got my left ear done twice (with a gun coz it was cheaper xDD dumb i kno)

    and right where the piercing is for both of them the cartilage isnt as stiff

    so i hope yours inst collapsing because otherwise so is mine xD

    i think yours will be fine coz iv had mine for over a year

    if ur still worried go to either the place you got the ring changed.

    might just be swollen becuase it's adjusting. a change like that i wouldnt worry about. go have a doc or peircing professional look at it though.
