I asked this yesterday and its still stuck. What happen was yesterday morning I was sitting in the chair. I was rolling a bowling ball around with my feet and toes. I put my big toe in the thumb hole of the ball and fell asleep watching TV. When I woke up my toe was stuck. I have been trying to get it back off but it wont come out. I have tried baby oil ice dish soap pulling on it but nothing works. I think my toe is swollen. I had to sleep with it on last night and call in to work this morning. This isnt a joke does anyone have any idea how to get it off. Please help!!!

i'll play along-elevate your toe (and the ball), this will cause blood to go away from the area OR surround your toe with an ice pack, this will cause your toe to shrink-if all fails go to the emer. room

If you have a friend. have them get a can of compressed air like they use to clean computers, etc. one with the little tube.
put some ky jelly or something slick on the tube slide down along side the toe, press the trigger, and it will blow your toe out. Be sure to push it into the hole to the bottom so you don't get air into your skin. Use short bursts of air. because it is cold. Better call the fire dept and they will use air. Water will work too if you had a way to get a tube small enough to get past the toe.

OMG I don't beleive you...lol! If it is true I am sooo sorry! Butter stuff like that didn't work? Lol! Ok maybe call a guy who has a saw and cut the F***** off? Oh or get a hammer and chisel and very carefully chip around the edge. If you do not have these items then call a guy friend or neighbor. Good Luck that is all I can think of, oh, and maybe keep your foot elevated somehow! Reduce the swelling.

That is terrible! I guess take yourself to the bowling alley & ask the guys who drill the holes for the balls to try and drill around it. Or go to the Emergency Room. I would call CNN news also because this could get you some serious money talking about it with Larry King Live.

You poor thing! The only thing I can think of is to lay on the floor with the foot and ball up on the bed or couch-maybe it will cause the blood to drain a bit and reduce the swelling. Hope it works!

If you think it's swelling try running it under cold water to reduce the swelling. Then see if you can pull it out using some sort of lube (soak, ky, etc.) Next... call the fire dept. or find a sledge hammer and a friend with good aim. Best of luck... can ya post the pictures of this??!!

Try elevating to stop the blood from rushing to your foot. Cold pack may help reduce the swelling. If all else fails break the ball.

It may end up being a case of your toe or the ball. Ummmm...
If your circulation stops in that toe it will rot. They will have to cut it off.
I would take a hammer to that ball and cut my losses.
