Social media is loaded with videos of people who can not get their rings off their swollen fingers. It happened to one New York woman. Nicole Amalfitano says she always takes her ring off when she goes to sleep - except for one night. When Amalfitano woke up, she found herself with a swollen finger. She had to visit a local fire station to get her ring cut off. Inside Edition’s Ann Mercogliano has more.

I was an EMT for 12 years and worked 5 years in an emergency room doing it. We had one man come in with an injury to his finger from his wedding ring. He was putting something on the top of his SUV, when he got off his ring got stuck on the roof rack and peeled his finger like a banana. I remember just seeing blood and bone with the skin hanging off. We amputated his finger and he went home.

Happened to a friend of mine in high school. He had his class ring on, and while playing soccer, decided to jump up and grab the top bar of the goal. His ring got caught on one of the hooks that hold the net, and it did the same thing. Degloved his finger, and broke the bone, severed the tendon, and nerves. He didnt lose the finger right away, but after a week, it became necrotic due to lack of blood flow, and they took his finger. The sad part is that he was due to ship out for the army after graduation, but couldnt after this happened.

If this happens to you stick your hand in ice water for a few minutes. Usually this will do the trick. Also don’t use windex. That’s for cleaning glass if you weren’t aware

Very true! I had a friend come to me asking for help because she couldn't get her ring off, and didn't want to damage the ring by cutting it off. I had her hold her finger in ice water for a few minutes. In reaction to the cold, the finger decreases in size a bit. After a few minutes of her finger in the water, she was able to slip the ring off. She thanked me profusely for getting the ring off.

There's a ring tourniquet technique that can be used to remove stuck jewellery very easily without cutting. I've seen a RU-vid short of a nurse using it. It a clever yet simple technique

Unless you had seriously injured your finger and it was swelling up, would this be a problem. It's not that hard to get a ring off the finger. Just raise your hand above your head for 2 minutes. Blood and fluids will drain out of your hand and fingers, then it should be much easier to remove the ring.

I was always worried if you can actually wear your ring all the time without taking it off. Now I've found the answer to my question that it can actually be harmful. I'm not married so I have no experience with wearing a ring.

Wind thread around your finger, starting at the knuckle and go back towards the ring it will push the blood out of your finger and reduce the swelling so you can pull your ring over the thread and finger. 👍

if you put lubrication on and then wrap the knuckle up the finger in cotton thread, passing one end under the ring and as you unwrap the cotton it "winds" the ring off. (your results may vary ☺)

Next step after soap should be the string trick. We would use the string trick first ( if there was no crashing injury or if it was too swollen. If the string trick didn't work after 3 or 4 times, then we'd get out the ring cutter. Sailors and Marines aren't paid enough to get expensive jewelry repaired when you're E1-E5 you're scraping to get by. Always save the person's digit first though.

Had to go to hospital on Thanksgiving night to get mine sawed off after wearing it for a month once it became swollen and irritated. Needless to say, I was mortified because I haven't gotten a ring stuck on my fingers since I was a little kid. Sadly, it meant parting with one of my favorite rings at least until able to get it fixed.
