First, remove rings: Elevate hands, and apply ice to fingers. Apply soapy solution and try to remove rings. If unable to remove, try string technique as shown. If unsuccessful, may need to cut ring(s) off. Cause may be water retention, often due to excess salt. May also be due to kidney problem, or other illness.
