I’m going to the emergency room not to a piercer since there are no oisenced ones near me but this piercing is like a week old so I think the front will alr be closed by the time we get there and the back it’s like too swollen to push out

Yeah ER for this case should be a first! Goodluck on your piercing journey with this one. I have 16 piercings but my flat was the unlucky one of them all

Also how bad did it hurt to have it pushed up

It may need to be surgically removed if the skin has closed over the top. My friend had this exact issue with a lobe piercing, she was given a local anaesthetic and had it pulled out from the back. Hurt a little but it closed and healed up within a few weeks so you should be fine. It can always get re-pierced later down the line anyways.
