Option 1: You should try some Vaseline and slowly rock it out.

Option 2: Or try using dental floss. How? Simple, tightly wrap dental floss on the edge of the ring and try to move the ring towards the floss. You could also try Vaseline along with the floss at the same time.

Option 3: Use pliers and cut off the ring.

Option 4: Go to jewelry stores. Many years ago my mom had to have a ring cut off her finger and she had it done by a jeweler. If you want, the jeweler can repair and enlarge the ring for you so you can continue to wear it.

Option 5: Go to the ER. there's no other choice.

try ice. If that doesn't work, you really need to seek medical attention to avoid doing damage. They may need to cut it off (the ring that is).

Try an oil like mineral oil, vegetable oil, etc. If that doesn't work go to the jewelry store and they will cut it off for you....and they can re-size it for you for a small charge. I had to have my wedding rings cut off for the same reason...but don't let it go....could cause you worse problems.

Also, try holding your hand over your head. That's supposed to help.
If your finger is turning colors, you really must get it off - see a physician if necessary.

Put your finger in some butter and the ring should slide right off.

go to the fire department. they have tools that get rings off. my sister has done it, they might think its funny but they should help you.

try baby oil, or even a cooking oil...make sure it gets underneath the ring...slowly try yo get the ring off (trying to pull it off can make it swell faster/more)...another thing to try is to put saliva underneath the ring...i know it is gross but try putting you finger in your mouth until it reaches the ring and then gently trying to pull it off with your teeth...also to help the swelling go down put you hsnd in cold water it will help slow/stop the swelling, maybe just enough for you to get the ring off. good luck!

you CAN'T go to ER? Why? You need to use hardware to CUT it (the ring), but if you wait too long they are gonna need to cut the finger so move, the more you play around the less blood your finger get and the more chances of necrosis (dead of tissue).

At ER they have cutter for cases like yours; also the firefighters have them.

Turning colors and swelling are not a good thing. Go to ER.

i have had past success with dish soap. if this doesn't work, try any kind of ointment-like neosporin.

keep it.
