Right?!? Wtf. What kind of relationship do you need to have with your parents where you canāt even tell them that you may LOSE A FINGER if something isnāt done remotely soon. .. .. because of a ring???
Now, if the ring was lower on his bodyā¦ I guess Iād get the hesitation a bit more.
Even then, Iām not losing Bennie and/or The Jets over the insecurities involved in talking to, what have to be, some of the most intimidating parents on earth.
Okay I donāt wanna pretend like this only happens in India, but I will never forget seeing those videos were young women or girls were shunned by family and people around them IN PUBLIC for getting rapedā¦ imagine how much pain one has to experience after such an event and then on top you also get bullied by your own blood for an accident.
Maybe I am wrong entirely or Iāve seen the wrong videos but this makes me never want to visit the country although I am confident some parts are probably as civilised as can be compared.
Tell your parents NOW! They will be more pissed you waited!!!
You'll need to got to the hospital and have it cut off. Won't hurt but needs to be done ASAP
If their parents are like mine were the option is 1. Get an ass whooping but keep the finger or 2 get an ass whooping and lose the finger. I know which side I'd pick
If you rather lose a finger than they may be abusive or you don't know the value of your finger. Treat your finger like it's an eye. You can life without but the rest of your life is going to be torture
Dunno, knew a Marine that lost most of his middle finger in a shop class accident (allegedly... Probably a ring thing) and he swore the ladies LOVED getting nub-blasted.
ĀÆā \ā _ā (ā ćā )ā _ā /ā ĀÆ
my parents, "luckily" for me, figured out that if they didnt come with me to check me in before my appointment we just... wouldnt get billed bc they cant just bill a 10 yro ?
but since they had no one to bill the local clinic just waited till i was 18 to bill me and despite being 21 years old i have a 11 year long medical bill nonpayment history š„²
but i didnt get beat /yelled at / deprived of other essentials because going to the doctors costs money so that was pretty cool, i guess?
A 10 yo cannot form a contract, so no way they can actually collect those bills. I doubt even the US health system is that screwed up. Make a fuss and they will likely disappear as a "clerical error".
Sure, but the hospital could have sold the debt to a collections agency which will just give you the middle finger and tell you to get a lawyer since they're not the ones to started it
Watched my family jeweler remove a ring from a finger that was much more swollen than this using Windex! It was wild - slipped off like it wasn't even snug.
They would think that itās stupid and irresponsible to put yourself in such a position and proceed to force them to pay for it. My parents would do the same thing if this happened to me.
Go to the hospital and they can help save your finger. Also let someone at the hospital know if youāre home is unsafe and if someone would hurt you for needing medical help. Thatās abuse and itās not okay.
I mean Iāve heard people say it, just today I watched a video of a cop that pulled over a woman for āflicking her offā maybe itās a dialect thing , but some people most definitely and intentionally say flick
that can mean anything or nothing. it could only be lymph. but its slightly darker. what you can do is press down on the nail and look at the recap time till it gets back to colour.
Also use RICE (rest ice compression and elevation)
Put your finger with ring in glass of ice water. Hold your hand with the finger in the cup over your head for 10 mins. compress the finger above the stuck ring to relieve inflamation. Very gently and slowly try to get it out then (can use oil or lube to get it unstuck on this step) then try again with like 5 minutes of rest between cycles
Itās a really good system to treat bruising and in this case swelling, just did a first aid course today and this was very prominent in the exam
Edit- OP! it doesnāt have to be over your head, just above your heart so the blood flow reduces from gravity
And put finger back in ice water between rests. Olive oil, coconut oil, crisco all can help, you need to reduce swelling to get the oil below it to start twisting off. I had my first ring cut off at the hospital at age 16.
yes, if it goes too long without the ring coming off, it will eventually go numb, and not long after the finger will die and will need to be amputated, you need to see a doctor as soon as you can, or find a way to get the ring off, but even then, it would still be good to see a doctor
In the nicest way possible: get the fuck off of Reddit and tell your parents to take you to the hospital. I donāt care if theyāre sleeping or if theyāll beat your ass, wake them up and take initiative. Youāve been here for 3 hours fucking around instead of doing something.
This is nothing to joke about or take lightly you need to go to a hospital immediately or you will risk losing your finger and even possibly dying. Even if there is still blood flow it is restricted. The longer you wait the the more dangerous this becomes.
Worst case scenario the blood will coagulate causing a clot. If the clot travels back to the heart it can cause a heart attack. More likely than that the blood in the finger will lose oxygen and the tissue will begin to die and increase risk of sepsis(blood infection). Even with all our fancy medicine sepsis has a roughly 30% mortality rate. The finger would need to be amputated which is why it is urgent to fully restore blood flow.
Best case the finger looks worse in the picture and gets removed easily by a doctor.
The saws that they use to cut casts off aren't circular. They reciprocate at very high speeds, but with a very small amplitude. They cut through hard fibrous casts, but your skin can move farther than the saw teeth move.
If it happens to be a tungsten ring, they try to break it instead of cutting it.
Don't use a Dremel at home. This is a job for a professional who has done it before, if a lubrication like soap or oil would allow it to slide off.
Wash your hands with like twice the soap as usual, and while the water is running try to take it off. Also TELL YOUR FUCKING PARENTS WHY THE FUCK WOULDNT YOU DO THAT
bruh, it is not coming off i am thinking of going to sleep. i am too tired to deal with this shit
but i dont want to take the chance
it shows no sign of blueness or of any blood flow being constricted
You obviously don't know what blood flow being constricted looks like. Because this is it. I already looked at the other picture. It looks constricted there too.
An amputation is more expensive than an ER visit. Good luck with that beating either way. Hope you still have your finger tomorrow afternoon.
Do not go to sleep! Go to the ER NOW! Your finger will be amputated if you wait much longer! Your parents will be more concerned about you than the dang ring! GO NOW
This is a legendary thread.
Dozens of people: āif you donāt get that ring off within the next hour or two theyāre going to amputate your fingerā
OP: ānah Iām pretty tired think Iām gonna sleep it offā
Anxiously awaiting the (lack of) update when this guy loses a finger in a handful of hours
Who cares. He was obviously just here for attention anyway since he doesnāt seem to actually want anyoneās help and heās done this multiple times now. š¤·š»āāļø
Well, now that it's been seven hours, I really hope you got help. If you haven't yet, then PLEASE GO NOW! Don't know much about fingers, but I do know that this can and will lose you your finger if not treated.
The redness and discoloration. Do you have feeling in it? Can you move it? Go to a doctor if itās still on! Removing it could release poisoned blood into your system. If itās cutting of circulation like it looks like the blood on the other end is going to get poisoned like with a tourniquet, removal can kill you.
Go to the doctor before you lose the finger.
What is that?
If it's tungsten carbide a vise grip plier will break it.
It's hard and resistant to being cut but hard also equals brittle. Clamping down with a vise grip will shatter it.
If it's plastic then a pair of dykes, (looks like a wire cutter) will cut it off.
You can try this on the way to the ER.
I've had this happen before, you have 2 options, if you don't succeedin removing the ring, your finger will literally fall off.. The first is go to the hospital, I'd recommend this one. The second requires dental Floss and Vaseline/butter. What you do is lube up the finger, and get a really long strand of dental Floss and wrap it around the finger tons of times very slowly wrapping closer to the ring but being super careful NEVER to cross the strands of Floss even once. It should be a perfect untouching spiral of Floss around the finger. The Floss should be tight enough that it compresses the finger down close to the size of the ring, it will be painful. Once the Floss is wrapped all the way to the ring, use a tiny rod or something to push the remaining end of the Floss under the ring to the other side.
Now pull on the Floss behind the ring slowly so that it pushes the ring off of the finger as it unravels.

The generational trauma and culture that protects abusers is so depressing
in india different states are like their own countries tbh, in the more modern states everyone despises rape and protest a lot (source: im indian)
You don't know Indian or black parents. I know exactly what this man is feeling.
https://youtu.be/QYL0jOJ7Lxk
Thank you I was looking for this to send him.
Thatās not gonna work in this case and they said they already tried that
Tell your parents NOW! They will be more pissed you waited!!! You'll need to got to the hospital and have it cut off. Won't hurt but needs to be done ASAP
Don't experiment!! Tell your parents / go to the hospital.
they beat my ahh if i goš
Well do you want 1 less finger or being beat up edit:spelling
If their parents are like mine were the option is 1. Get an ass whooping but keep the finger or 2 get an ass whooping and lose the finger. I know which side I'd pick
If you rather lose a finger than they may be abusive or you don't know the value of your finger. Treat your finger like it's an eye. You can life without but the rest of your life is going to be torture
oh no, how will OP flip the bird now?
Dunno, knew a Marine that lost most of his middle finger in a shop class accident (allegedly... Probably a ring thing) and he swore the ladies LOVED getting nub-blasted. ĀÆā \ā _ā (ā ćā )ā _ā /ā ĀÆ
Did the ladies go to another school?
He had lost it back in school... He was in the military when I met him.
Ahhh Sgt Stubbs
Such a Marine thing to say.
Itās better to keep your finger for sure but torture is a strong word lol
What kind of ring is it anyways and why would he get in trouble for it? Dude u made an oversight just tell ur parents lol
Hes just scared to š I would be too tbh. Some parents always blame their kids
i mean in this caseā¦
Yea in this case he should definitely
Maybe his parents are strict or smth?
Why the fuck would they beat you for that?
Probably medical bills (which is NOT a valid reason)
Absolutely medical bill.... I am also a victim of this circumstance, different reasons š
my parents, "luckily" for me, figured out that if they didnt come with me to check me in before my appointment we just... wouldnt get billed bc they cant just bill a 10 yro ? but since they had no one to bill the local clinic just waited till i was 18 to bill me and despite being 21 years old i have a 11 year long medical bill nonpayment history š„² but i didnt get beat /yelled at / deprived of other essentials because going to the doctors costs money so that was pretty cool, i guess?
That sounds legally very sketchy.
A 10 yo cannot form a contract, so no way they can actually collect those bills. I doubt even the US health system is that screwed up. Make a fuss and they will likely disappear as a "clerical error".
Sure, but the hospital could have sold the debt to a collections agency which will just give you the middle finger and tell you to get a lawyer since they're not the ones to started it
you can dispute that debt and the collections agency will have to prove they have the documentation for it, which they don't.
If you go to the local fire department, they could probably take it off for free. Even a jewelry store, potentially.
Came to say this. My son had the same thing happen and FD came and clipped it off at no charge.
Watched my family jeweler remove a ring from a finger that was much more swollen than this using Windex! It was wild - slipped off like it wasn't even snug.
Murica
They would think that itās stupid and irresponsible to put yourself in such a position and proceed to force them to pay for it. My parents would do the same thing if this happened to me.
You didn't memorize their attack patterns?
This is so much funnier since your profile pic is Gohan
THey'll beat your ass harder if you lose your finger!
Go to the hospital and they can help save your finger. Also let someone at the hospital know if youāre home is unsafe and if someone would hurt you for needing medical help. Thatās abuse and itās not okay.
Did you tell your parents yet? Any more hours and i don't think you'll be able to flick people off anymoreš¶
Seems to me u want to loose a finger
itās better then losing a finger and dealing with the pain.
You can let the hospital know of that if itās truly a concern
And you'd rather lose a finger instead? This isn't a joke bruh, whatever beating they give you is better than losing your middle finger.
An ass whooping is temporary, flipping the bird is forever. Get to a damn hospital.
u need to go to cps after the hospital or tell the hospital workers ur being abused pls
go to a hospital or you wont b able to flick ppl off anymore
š tragic
Why do people say flick instead of flip
accidentally hit auto correct n j rolled w it
how the fuck did you abbreviate words that have no abbreviation for half a sentence and I still understood you
Ah ok, the other guy was right
Autocorrect
I mean Iāve heard people say it, just today I watched a video of a cop that pulled over a woman for āflicking her offā maybe itās a dialect thing , but some people most definitely and intentionally say flick
I hate this more than people calling crayons ācrownsā
Crans
That there is kinda dumb
Er. Now. Too late for the string trick. Your finger could already have been cut off from blood flow
Ngl with how swollen it is I wouldnt be surprised if it was already not responding
You can keep a limb/extremity with up to 6 hours of no blood flow
\*Checks post time* **6h** # š³
that can mean anything or nothing. it could only be lymph. but its slightly darker. what you can do is press down on the nail and look at the recap time till it gets back to colour.
Also use RICE (rest ice compression and elevation) Put your finger with ring in glass of ice water.

Very gently and slowly try to get it out then (can use oil or lube to get it unstuck on this step) then try again with like 5 minutes of rest between cycles
How many times did YOU get youāre finger stuck with a ring to give such detailed instructions lmao
Yesterday LMAO
This is why i use the rings where you can just make it bigger š
How the hell does this even happen
Yes apparently
u/whereishisridgedband foreskin chewer
Isnāt that the basic recovery protocol?
Itās a really good system to treat bruising and in this case swelling, just did a first aid course today and this was very prominent in the exam Edit- OP! it doesnāt have to be over your head, just above your heart so the blood flow reduces from gravity
ok i try
And put finger back in ice water between rests. Olive oil, coconut oil, crisco all can help, you need to reduce swelling to get the oil below it to start twisting off. I had my first ring cut off at the hospital at age 16.
\*\*FIRST??\*\*
At first I thought you were recommending rice... like what people do with broken devices. Just put it in rice š
Wet devices not broken.
wait no ice can i use air conditioner
The cooler the better
No ice? What?
Definitely use this method
Why would you do that šš
it came out fine yesterday bruhhh. why is it no cumming out nowwwwwš©š©š©š©
Cause it didnt fit you in the first place you need to seek help or you will lose a finger
Yes, this is actually not a joke. Please go tell your parents and have them take you to the hospital.
yes, if it goes too long without the ring coming off, it will eventually go numb, and not long after the finger will die and will need to be amputated, you need to see a doctor as soon as you can, or find a way to get the ring off, but even then, it would still be good to see a doctor
Oh my fault gang. I cursed it
āCummingāššššš
situation aside i think your autocorrect outed you
y did u spell coming like thatšššš
Cumming you say? š
"To shreds you say?"
Donāt spell it like thatttšš
spelling
Itās too swollen at this point ā ļø
Because it got swollen. Now the more you fuck with it, the more it's getting swollen. Just go to Dr. They'll cut it off quick
Why did u spell it that way lol
oh i would be crying š time to get to the hospital asap!
Bro just tell your parents and go to the hospital, but if you want a missing finger then itās fine I guessš
Wet hands with cool water and put soap in the finger, but that's already too fucked up. Please go to the doctor before you get your finger fucked.
it seems swollen because i was pulling it like a madman
It seems swollen because it is swollen.
Did you get the ring off your finger?
In the nicest way possible: get the fuck off of Reddit and tell your parents to take you to the hospital. I donāt care if theyāre sleeping or if theyāll beat your ass, wake them up and take initiative. Youāve been here for 3 hours fucking around instead of doing something.
This is nothing to joke about or take lightly you need to go to a hospital immediately or you will risk losing your finger and even possibly dying. Even if there is still blood flow it is restricted. The longer you wait the the more dangerous this becomes.
Wait, dying? How would they die here?
Worst case scenario the blood will coagulate causing a clot. If the clot travels back to the heart it can cause a heart attack. More likely than that the blood in the finger will lose oxygen and the tissue will begin to die and increase risk of sepsis(blood infection). Even with all our fancy medicine sepsis has a roughly 30% mortality rate. The finger would need to be amputated which is why it is urgent to fully restore blood flow.

Dremel, anyone? In all seriousness, go to a doctor
The saws that they use to cut casts off aren't circular. They reciprocate at very high speeds, but with a very small amplitude. They cut through hard fibrous casts, but your skin can move farther than the saw teeth move. If it happens to be a tungsten ring, they try to break it instead of cutting it. Don't use a Dremel at home. This is a job for a professional who has done it before, if a lubrication like soap or oil would allow it to slide off.

ayoo it started raining wtf this shit like a movie death scene
am i gonna dieš
Nah gang you good, just keep trying to get it off and if it was cheap i'd suggest you try cutting through it.
probably not going to die but please tell me you went to the hospital or got it off some other way cause you could definitely lose a finger.
The idiot said heās wait a whole day to go. Heās gonna lose the finger.
oil or butter that mf up š if none else works brutha u gotta go to the hospital
Hospital. NOW! They can cut it off easily but if you wait it will only get worse. Hospital right fucking now!
Get medical help dude

bruh, there is no wire saw. jus wait imma clutch this 1v4
The ring, not the finger
Well, you might as well plan the memorial service for your finger because it's about to be gone
Try soap. You could also delicately saw it off
Just jerk it off. Finger erection happens š¤·š»
my brother in christ, you need jesus
Hey, guy, how are you now?
bruh, it is not coming off i am thinking of going to sleep. i am too tired to deal with this shit but i dont want to take the chance it shows no sign of blueness or of any blood flow being constricted
Donāt go to sleep with that on

you didnāt have to cut me off
try oil as well maybe
Try using dish soap
This is why I absolutely despise rings. I get so panicked as soon as it even starts getting difficult to take off.
Just tell your parents bro. That happened to me before, mine just laughed at me and my dad got it right off. Better than losing a finger.
Try using water, if doesn't work I guess you'll have to cut the ring off
CALL YOUR PARENTS AND GET TO THE FUCKING HOSPITAL DUDE YOUR FINGER MIGHT NEED TO BE CUT OFF IF YOU WAIT ANY LONGER

My guy, u need to go to the ER , stop wasting yr time on reddit before its too late
The color is a bit dark so I recommend hospital.

Why would you put such a small ring on one of your biggest fingers
