How to Get Wedding Ring off of Swolen Fingers?

I worked in a jewelry store for a number of years and we used windex it works well. I fyou wont come off please dont continue to force go into the jewelry store they have tools to cut it off and then resized to fit or resoldered

Try windex. Sounds silly but it works.

Make sure you are drinking plenty of water. Elevate your hand and place it in a bowl of very cold water. You could try some butter or lotion to help it slide off. Good luck.

soap or hand lotion will make your fingers slippery enough to slide it off.

I agree...cold water and any greasy oil or lotion.

I had the same problem.

If this doesn't work, you may have to go to the hospital to get it cut off (awful, I know!).

I hope it works!

Hi S.!

I second the cold... also I would try to elevate it as much as possible just like you would with a sprain or other injury. You need to be very careful trying to get it off though so you do not injure your finger to cause further swelling though.

When I swelled up during my pregnancy my Dr told me to drink more water. Did not make any sense to me but it did help relieve some of it but my toes and fingers still looks like sausages but my ankles went down a TINY bit- maybe it will help?!?!?!

Also, call where you got your rings from. They may have some suggestions. My girlfriend just had the same problem and while she had no choice but to have her rings all cut off they are fixing the ones that were purchased through them for no cost.

I really wish you lots of luck! Blessings to you and yours!
