Have you tried taking them out during a very hot shower?
That would be the first thing I would try if I had access to a shower.

I made the mistake of putting them in freshly stretched so theyre all swollen too! ....should I wait and try the shower after they heal....or...?
oooh! that sounds scary! haha electrical equipment that close to my face?...i don't know....
also theyre kinda weighted...do you think if I wait, they'll stretch enough....the flares aren't THAT big...........i'm just like panicking, I went to clean them and they would not budge.......

Well, ceramic metal cutting discs won't cut flesh very readily. I'm a metal worker, so that is the first thing I'd think to do, you just have to watch out for heat accumilation, and I'd have you wear earplugs for the noise. Too bad you're nowhere near me.
wowee!! I don't even know what to say haha, I just keep picturing a horror movie happening...but if it doesn't cut flesh readily....maybe it'll be okay...I'd have to search for a metal worker though........oh crap wait..........
one more thing I forgot to mention...they're made of pyrex glass........

Can you spin them? If not, I think whatever you do is going to hurt, so pick whatever method you want. I say a really hot shower, a bunch of soap or lubricant and something to bite on. ...I feel like that could easily be quoted out of context.
yeah I can spin them, and i can push them back and forth, they just won't slide over the flare at all. no matter how hard I push or pull.

i had this issue with my septum, though not as extreme as your case sounds. i just lubed up and played with it for about 20 mins until it popped out.
be persistent
what size are they? and how large are the flares?

they're 5/8 and the flares are like.... half a mm....I dont know.....the flares arent even big! theyre just stuck ahha it's so lame.
that's so lameeee ..... another reason why we should learn to teleport. haha
ice your lobes to make the swelling go down, then put some lotion on em and shove them out. But if you take them out your ears are gonna shrink up really fast so i would suggest just leaving them in for a little while and pull on them a lot and eventually they'll come out easy.
just wait....they'll loosen up. don't cut them out or freak out. give them a week or two to heal and they'll loosen up no problem, try some hot salt water soaks and let them heal. if you just stretched them why do you wanna take them out??
i always wear double flares and eventually I have to take them out to sleep so that they stay in during the day.

agreed, every time i've gauged my septum its the worst to take out for like a day or two max, then its easy again.
update from yesterday?
what size you at, out of curiosity?
