Tips to Remove Your Ring
If your finger is fine, but the ring is just stuck, you can try to get it off yourself.
Some of the following tips use the R.I.C.E. method to bring the swelling down. R.I.C.E. stands for rest, ice, compression, and elevation. Others use some common household items that can help slide the ring off your finger.
Regardless of which strategy you choose to use, twist the ring off of your finger slowly. Pulling it with force can cause additional swelling and possibly injury.
Raise Your Hand
Elevating the hand wearing the ring can help blood drain from the tissues, reducing the fluid build-up. This may help bring down the swelling enough to slide the ring off.
Raise your hand to a level above your heart for about five to 10 minutes.
Use Ice
Put your finger in ice water or apply a covered ice pack for 15 minutes or less. If possible, keep your hand elevated while cooling your finger.
After 15 minutes, try gently compressing your finger above the ring (closer to the knuckle) and slowly twisting it off. If it doesn’t budge, wait 15 minutes and try again by repeating this process.
The cold from the ice reduces blood flow, which helps bring down swelling. But longer application time isn’t better. Ice can cause frostbite if you leave it on your skin for longer than is suggested. If you feel pain or numbness from the cold, remove the ice immediately.
