Help i tried one of my old rings on and it has got stuck on my middle finger?

Question

title says it all...... what should i do

Answer 1

Soak hand in cold water for a while, then put some dish washing liquid around it and gradually wiggle it off!

Answer 2

Don't Panic!  The calmer you are the easier it will be.  Rub ice on it, it will cause less blood to flow to the area causing your finger to shrink.  Olive oil might help it be slippery also.  If you have tried for a long time you might have caused blood to rush to the area and your finger to swell..I recomend taking a break and letting your finger "calm down"  Good Luck!

Answer 3

have a nice cup of tea

Answer 4

Put an ice pack on your hand untill it's very cold but not so cold that it goes blue! Your finger will shrink when it's cold and it should help. OR, do this ANd run under water with a bit of soap on. If those two togetehr don't work you will need to cut it off (your ring not your finger!)

Answer 5

Answer 7

How To Remove a Ring Stuck on a Finger





Ring Finger

There are no sure-fire ways to remove rings stuck on fingers. This method is easy and does not require medical training or special equipment. Methods involving wrapping the finger or using specialized equipment should be attempted only by trained medical personnel.

In cases of injured fingers, seek medical help immediately. The binding of a ring around the finger may act as a tourniquet and cause permanent damage to the finger if not removed promptly.

If there is no injury, a ring may be removed at home. Do not attempt removal if the finger is blue or purple, or if there is no feeling in the finger.

Difficulty: Hard

Time Required: Up to an hour

Here's How:

1) Stay Safe. If you are not the victim, practice universal precautions and wear personal protective equipment if available.

2)Raise the affected hand high above the heart. Keeping the hand high will help blood drain from the tissues and bring down any swelling. Keep the hand elevated until the ring is removed.

3) Cool the finger with an ice pack for 20 minutes or direct ice for 10 minutes. An easy way to cool the finger is to dip it in ice and water. Remember to keep the hand elevated while cooling the finger.

4) Once the finger is cold and has been elevated for at least 15 to 20 minutes, use a lubricant to make the finger slippery. Baby or mineral oil works well. Soap can sometimes irritate the skin and may dry it out, but it works in a pinch.

5)Compress the finger in front of the ring before trying to move the ring. Work the ring slowly; moving too fast will result in more swelling. Don't forget to keep the hand elevated during this process.

6) It may be necessary to cool the finger with ice multiple times during this process. If direct ice or iced water is used, remember not to expose the finger for more than 10 minutes. If an ice pack is used, expose it no more than 20 minutes. Always keep ice off the finger for at least 20 minutes before cooling again.

7) If the finger becomes swollen and discolored, or if several attempts to move the ring do not work, seek medical attention. Fire departments, hospital emergency departments, and most ambulances are equipped with cutters to remove stuck rings.

Tips:

Remember: Keep the affected hand elevated throughout the procedure.

ice your finger so it contracts and then use soap to try and slide it off, actually I had a girlfriend in high school who thought it would be cute to put her ring on my finger and it got stuck and I had to go to the nurse because I lost all feeling in my finger and she would not cut the ring off until they got her permission to cut her ring, I waited like 3 hours for them to find her not cool
