The bio-balls are "dead" now since they have been removed and dried so there is no benefit to be had by putting them back in. This sounds pretty much like normal live rock curing to me. You are just going to need to stay on top of the water changes and scrub them down every week or so until the parameters level out. The good thing is you won't need to worry about a cycle since you are going through that now.
Sometimes it takes weeks for LR to cure properly so don't be suprised if this goes on for a while. You may want to keep the lights off unless you already do. Most people cure LR without lights. Just flow, water changes, and time.
