Wait for sometime for the swelling to subside... Then wash your hand with warm water. This will have two effects:\na. Expand the ring slightly.\nb. Moisturize the skin making it kind of stretchy.\nUse soap. If you cant still remove it, I suggest using butter or oil.\nFinally, if it still doesn't come out I suggest driving to an ER

It sounds like you have a strain, with some minor inflamation, which is putting pressure on the nerve.\n\nAcupuncture is especially effective in this type of situation. If you don't want to seek outside care, you\ncould try acupressure and massage, at home.  \n\nOf course, if there is still swelling you should ice your hand.  Whether there's swelling or not, soaking your hand in warm water and epsom salts will help.  Especially in conjunction with massage afterward. Massage up the tendon line from the affected finger tip.  And, do make sure to include the wrist and forearm if you feel that the stress-line runs up into your arm.  Good luck!\n\nGood luck!

As a teenager ( a couple of years ago! ) I smashed my finger in the car door.  It bled terribly.  My uncle took a sterilized knife and bore a small hole into the nail to relieve the pressure.  It remained horribly purple for weeks and the nail came off.  Another nail replaced it, although it did take a while.

Don't do it yourself, its super simple to have it removed.  I had the same problem, my doctor gave me an injection of steroids and synvisc (not sure how its spelled)...I was better in a matter of hours and that was 4 months ago..I havent hade any problems since.  I also had that problem where it changes shape or gets bigger.  try and schedule the injection with your doctor when its gets bigger because its easier for them to find it and inject it right if they can see it really well.  Mine was about the size of a walnut when it really hurt

First how do you think, you got your knot?\nIs it chronic or new?\nRelief of symptoms:  \nNew symptom I would use ice intermittently & Ibuprofen to decrease swelling/pain. (first 24 hours)\nOtherwise take a hot bath with epson salt.\nI recommend doing some Yoga or\ntreat yourself to a massage.

it sorta sounds like it's just swollen from the piercing, cartiladge is painful to pierce and takes a long time to heal.  if it's just swollen and red I wouldn't worry too much but if it's leaking pus then you may have an infection.  whatever you do, don't take out the jewelry!  the hole will close up and seal the infection inside potentially causing you more pain and problems.  talk to the piercer about proper aftercare (I hope you went to a licensed professional) and call your doctor.  DO NOT USE ALCOHOL to try and disinfect, it will only irritate it more.  DO NOT TOUCH WITH BARE HANDS THAT HAVE NOT BEEN THOUROUGHLY WASHED, that should be a no-brainer.  when you're in the shower and the crusties around the jewelry is soft enough make sure you rotate the ring but never attempt to do this dry, it'll hurt and you'll make it worse if it is infected

don't worry, everyone has those.\nit's weird, because everyone i know has it on their middle finger, but i have it on my ring finger..... \nand mine is bigger than most everyone else's. \nit's like a huge, hard bump that won't go away, and at first i was very worried (i thought foolishly that my ring finger had cancer or something) and i got my mother to take me to the doctor, but he said i shouldn't worry, so i told him it hurt really badly, and he said i could get one of those pencils/mechanical pencils with the squishy grip thing....\nand i googled it and came across this pencil:\nhttp://www.jetpens.com/product_info.php/products_id/586\nthe grip is made out of ultra-soft silicon, and it comes in different colors. The silicon contorts to fit the shape of your fingers, so there is no pain whatsoever when writing.\nyou can order it online (on the link above) or you can find them at any japanese/asian grocery, bookstore, market, etc.\n\nother suggestions may be to wrap a band-aid around the bump (very tedious, though) or a tissue on the grip of your pencil (again, quite tedious)\n\nOR you can change the way you hold your pencil, but that's like changing a lifestyle, it'll be so hard (i tried).\n\notherwise, i dont think there's anything you could do to actually "shrink" the bump, since it's already there (unless you dont write for like a year, which i dont think is possible) \n\nhope this helps and if you are really worried, i suggest ordering the a-gel pencils aysap :0)

Assuming you are not joking. Try soaking your hand in acetone based nail polish remover. Soaking in warm water also helps to break the bond, as your skin softens

first thing put the finger in some ice, that should numb it down...before you go to sleep take a pain killer (best thing is call a pharmacy and get the recommended dosage)...\n\nI know it hurts like hell...but the pain will subside

I had one removed from my left and right hands.  One at a time.  The haling time is realistically about a couple months...a few weeks of pain and stitches...then there is a pain when lifting too much weight, or bumping the hand in that spot.  It hurts; just bask for some good pain meds.  Make sure you keep it elevated...REMEMBER...IMPORTANT; while you are sleeping; hanging around, because if you don't it will get even more swollen than it will be already, from the surgery, itself.  Ask the surgeon if you can see it.  It looks like a spider; be glad it's gone.  Good luck to you.  You will be fine.  get it out before it gets any bigger; one of mine was, and it still hurts; it's been 3 months.  It is better every day.  It is a standard procedure; very quick...20 minutes for the surgery, itself.  Don't fret.  relax.

Divorce is the only answer... LOL unless of course you figure out that it's not the ring in itself but perhaps a chemical reaction to a new dishsoap? Did you start using new shampoo? Any chemical substance that might come into contact with your ring. I'm thinking soaps because if you don't take off your ring to dry your hands completely that may be what's causing this contact dermatitis you are describing.

Ibuprophen will reduce swelling in the area... thats like Advil.  Ice will work until you take it off, then it hurts even worse!  Just take some Advil and drink plenty of water.

Put some ice on it to bring the swelling down, and take some ibuprofen for the pain.  If it doesn't improve in a few days, see your Dr. or a dermatologist.

They check the size needed for your finger. If the downsize it they take a peice of gold out, if they upsize it they put a peice of gold in. To do either they have to cut the ring, once thier done they gold solder it together, file, polish and voila. If it needs a tiny size up sometimes they use thier sizeing stick and gently hammmer it to the size required.

Well you pushed the bones together. Normal you have a space between the bones and you jammed it pushed the bones together and that puts the pain and bruising on the finger. Sorry hope it gets better soon.

It sounds like a cyst. I had one on my finger and went to a dermatologist and they took it off. Have it checked out to be on the safe side.Don't sweat it.
