I need help, please could you tell me......................?

Question

How can I take my ring off my finger? I put it on this morning, it went on fine, but now (because of the heat), my fingers swollen up a bit too much, I've tried cold water, I've tried elevation, I've tried washing up liquid, is there anything else I can do that's not too drastic?

Awwww the fishy duo got me!!! :P

(If I was human and not a fish, I would have managed to get the ring off by doing some of the things you all suggested, thank you). :)

Answer 1

YES! Easy as flossing... use your dental floss, thread one end of a long length under your ring, quickly wrap the long end around your finger from the ring up past the knuckle. As soon as you do this, unwrap the other end, the ring will come off as you remove the dental floss!! It is really easy, but don't wrap the floss too tight or leave on for too long as it can cause more swelling. Good luck!

Answer 2

Oh my goodness that sounds painful. Once I got my finger stuck in a chair at school and it was soooo enbaresing cos the teacher had to put washing up liquid on but in the end I ripped my skin. If it's not too nosy to ask, why did you want to put your ring on this morning but you must of had a fight during the day if you want to take it off now. My mum only takes her ring off when she has a shower. Mabye, when you come to taking your shower, it'll come off by itsself. Goodluck.

Answer 3

The more stressed you get about this, the harder it'll be to remove the ring. You've tried all the obvious things that I can think of, so now it's a case of either keeping your hand in cold water for hours, or going to Casualty (ER) - they might be able to remove it somehoe without damaging your finger or the ring.

Answer 4

Put your hand above your head for several minutes ( not just a short time), to get rid of any excess fluid.
Relax - stress will make it worse. Do you really need to take it off now? Convince yourself you don't. Take some deep breaths.
Holding a cold drink for a while might help (drinking a cold g&t might help even more :-))
Tug at it for a short time, wriggling it up your finger and relaxing for a while between tugs. Don't try to pull it off in one go.

Answer 5

Try lotion or dishwashing liquid. Make sure you twist as you pull it off. Another thing that i've been people due is use a plastic bag from the grocery store to stick it under the ring and use the bag to pull the ring off. Works with bracelets also.

Answer 6

Try crushing ice and putting it in a tea towel then wrap your finger in it.
You can also try something greasy like cooking oil or butter (margarine isn't as good).

If nothing works then a jewellers or even your emergency ward at hospital can cut it off for you (the ring not your finger)

Answer 7

This is a trick question isn't it! It worked though, you had them all fooled. Well done.

Of course, being a fish, you don't really have fingers. And nobody noticed!

Or maybe you will say that you really do have fingers, covered in breadcrumbs. Clearly they've defrosted, hence the swelling. Refreeze, and you'll be fine.

Answer 8

I usually use butter or margarine to loosen my rings, or I use ice cubes to make my fingers shrink while rubbing an ice cube all over my finger, it will make it shrink and therefore make my ring come off...

I hope its not too tight to cut off the circulation on your finger cause if it is, you might have to have it cut off by perhaps a medical crew...

Answer 9

Liquid shud work... Thats funny. Try a proper soap cake otherwise.. dont keep tugging at it. Thatll make ur finger worse. If nothng works out, sleep with it on, and try soap again tomorrow morning.. Itll be out
Tc!

Answer 10

Ok, at the mall, in claires or icing they have ring remover at the front of the store, you put it on the ring and on your finger, it'll take a few min. but it works and its free
