I don't have one but I have friends who do. They have other piercings as well and their helix piercings are the most painful for them. But some of them say that the actual piercing isn't as painful as the swelling afterwards. Any cartilage piercing just takes longer to heal and stays cranky for a while. I have my tragus pierced and it really wasnt that bad.

Can you take your helix piercing out after 3 days for a hour?

I took mine out for less than five minutes and it healed up! I don't recommend it, if it's painful now, it'll most likely be painful all the time unless you leave it alone. It's a difficult piercing. I had mine done over 1 month at the time and it still healed and was painful. Hope this helped somehow. But then again, not all piercings are the same. Best to ask a professional piercer.
