Hi Guys

What tips have you got for a ring stuck on your finger, My finger is a bit swollen, I have tried soap, that didn't work. I tried olive oil that did'nt help.

Try running your hand under cold water. This should help decrease the swelling then maybe some baby oil. Let me know if it works.

Hmmm, try this one.. another one of my home remedies

A local jewler said that he uses window cleaner, like Windex. Spray the window cleaner on your finger and slowly twist in an upward direction. The ring should slip off. If not, we will go for another try...

If that does not work you can try and use hemoroid cream like Perparation H. It should reduce the swelling so that you can slide it off.

Hi J 9, update on ring stuck on finger, I bought some hemoroid cream, and the window cleaner spray, both haven't done the trick I'm afraid. You see the knuckle area of the finger is quite swollen. If it came to having the ring cut from my finger ie: accident and emergency, I wonder if the ring can be repaired. Its a beautiful ring with a unusual stone.

Nasra,

After plenty of searching I found this website that has about 41 tips and tricks. Some are duplicates, but there are some new tricks to get your ring off.

Good luck

Hi J 9,

Yipee ring has just come off, thanks to the website you sent me. I tried the tip of lifting the arm right above the head and wraping a bag of ice on the finger, I also used the idea you gave me of window cleaner, with a bit of tugging and twisting, the ring finally came off! I just want to thank you J 9 you always come to my rescue you are a star.

Comments on this post
J_9 agrees: Thank you for the star rating, but I am just a friend helping another friend!!
