Default Google: How to get off a stuck ring

Do you have a surgery date yet?

You may lose weight before surgery and they'll come off....
  • Step One Soak your hand in ice-cold water if it is swollen. Wait 5 to 10 minutes for the swelling to recede.
  • Step Two Apply lubricant around the ring and up the length of your finger. Hand lotion, dishwashing liquid or olive oil will do the trick.
  • Step Three Twist the ring as you slowly work it up and over the knuckle. You may need to apply some force to get it over the first knuckle. Make sure to twist, not tug.
  • Step Four If the ring still won't budge, visit a doctor to have it removed.

I did this once... had an anxiety attack due to the frustration... and it hurt! good luck... Let us know what happens!
