Congrats on your new piercing! I've had mine for three years now and have had no problems whatsoever, and I started out with a ring with a ball also. So, here are a few pointers to keep the pain at bay:
1. DO use the salt and warm water solution. I mixed the two and swished it around be belly once a day for the 1st month or so.
2. Turn your ring when you clean it - this prevents it from sticking!
3. Use an antibaterial spray such a Bactene
4. At bed time or if you're wearing something tight, like a one piece bathing suit, roll up cotton and stick it through the hoop. I know this may odd, but it prevents the ring from growing towards one side of your belly. Do this for about the 1st month.
Ok, thats all I have right now. Have fun and be careful with it!
