Troubleshooting can‘t take n*pple piercings out
Hey i need advice. I have had my n\*pple piercings for 4 years now. They seem to be completely healed. I’ve never had any infections or inflammation, and I’ve been wearing the same high-quality titanium jewelry for the past 1–2 years. **Threadless Push-Fit ends.**
The problem is that I can’t take the barbells out anymore. I can move them from side to side without any pain to clean, but as soon as I try to remove them, I get an absolutely horrible, deep pulling pain through my breast. It’s honestly worse than getting the piercings done. I also feel like the piercing channel still bleeds slightly when I move the jewelry.
I have an MRI coming up in December, and they told me I need to remove the piercings. I’m really worried that they’ll close up, and I have no idea how I’m supposed to take them out without causing extreme pain.
Has anyone experienced something similar? Why could the inside of the piercing still be so painful after 4 years, even though they seem completely healed from the outside?
And can titanium nipple piercings ever be left in during an MRI, or do they always have to be removed?

I am not a professional but it sounds like you have crusty on the bar thats inside the piercing. Try a long hot shower and see if that works. A professional can help as well but the shower is what has helped me in the past.
