Industrial piercing ?

I just got my industrial yesterday and this morning when I woke up, the barbell was moved more to one side (the top hole). Can I gently, after I've washed my hands, move it down a little or should I just leave it? I'm just afraid that it's gonna heal weird on the lower hole since the barbell is right against my ear. Help? Oh and is it normal for the ear to feel a little numb around the holes?

Thank you!

    That is interesting how does that feel?

    Yes moved it more to one side and move it down a little.

    Don't be afraid

    Its OK for ears to feel a little numb around the holes.

    It definitely won't heal weird, you have nothing to worry about. but DO not sleep on it at night for a few weeks! the first few weeks are crucial to healing. and if you clean the piercing, clean your hands, move it, and clean the piercing again you'll be alright, but it will probably hurt a lot. It's probably normal that it's a little numb, but if it lasts call your piercer or a doctor to check
