I took my PA to 8mm about 5 or 6 years ago and it was equally as
uncomfortable. After a few days I downsized and the hole didn't shrink.

I very rarely wear any jewelery in my PA these days and it's still at a good
5mm.

IMHO, chances are you're better off downsizing to 7mm and keeping up with
the salt soaks, etc until it feels comfortable again. Then try
re-stretching.

Good luck! :o)
