I can't get my ring off.?!
Question: I've tried like everything... Ice cold water doesn't help... my finger is all swollen, it's not purple though. And it's snowing outside and the roads are icy, and my parents are still sleeping... any ways I can get it off? Like ... Draining blood from my finger by using a saftey pin or something?? O.o

Why are you draining blood out of your finger. That could cause more swelling. Or worse. It's probably swollen due to water retention and needs to be elevated. Try elevating above your heart level keep it cool until your parents wake up.
try mealted butter or veg oil that shuld work much better than water and i shuld slip off
i once got a ring stuck in a shop and had to stand there for 45mins twisting and stuff =(
goodluck
See if vaseline helps...or oil .....if not....join the club.
baby oil might work
ok try to use butter oil or soap but keep calm and dont panic
Try soaking your hand in ice water for about 10 minutes before you try any of the above. The key here is to reduce the swelling before you try the above. Good luck
Dont prick your finger!
Try baby oil or cooking oils or soap
if they dont work and it hurts or swells more wake your parents and get it cut off before you damage your finger!
my jeweler recommends WINDEX and it works!
Lubricate the entire finger with oil, vegetable or olive oil work great. Raise your arm straight up over your head for several minutes. Without lowering your arm too low, try removing the ring using a back and forth screwing motion. This keeps the oil under the ring as it moves up the finger. Voila!!!
No, don't stick a needle in your finger!
If soap and lotions don't work try this.
Get a piece of heavy string about a foot and a half long.
Pass the string under your ring so that it is between your finger and the ring.
Leave about 6 inches of string above your ring, toward your palm, and the rest away from your palm.
Now, start to wrap the string around your finger on the long side away from your palm. Start close to the ring and carefully wrap each turn to lay right beside each previous turn. This is very important, because the idea is to compress the swelling on the finger away from your palm.
After you have compressed approximately 1/2 inch of your finger, get someone to hold the long end,( or hold it in your mouth if you are alone.)
Now, grasp the shorter end toward your palm, and start to slowly unwrap the windings. What will happen is that the unwrapping of the string from that end will start to move your ring foreward over the compressed string wrappings you just made.
When you have unwrapped all the windings from above, pull the string down from the finger side until 6 inches is above the ring and start the process over again until you are able to pull the ring off. ( Usually after you have worked it past the middle joint!)
I get rings off 90 % of the time in the ER using this method. The other 10 % we have to use a ring saw. Rings that have been cut with a ring saw can be easily repaired by a Jeweler.
Try soap water on your finger and don't push to hard it will come out smoothly..
The idea is to get something slippery, under the ring and that will get it to slip off. Try what you have available for the suggestions above, repeat it if necessary it will work. Calm yourself, the feeling of panic are not helpful, the ring can be cut rather then puncturing your finger. You will not be wearing rings for a long time after this experience, when you do make them large enough and comfortable .
something greasy like bacon fat should work make sure that you get the grease underneath the ring as well or it won't come off, i think the best way to get it off is once you've put the grease on bite behind the ring and pull with your teeth it might hurt a bit but it always works, good luck! =]
