RING FINGER SWELLING: FINGERS SWELL WITH HEAT AND GET SMALLER WHEN COLD. ALSO SWELL WHEN TOO MUCH SALT. TRY TO AVOID SALT. FINGERS ARE MORE PUFFY IN THE AM OF AFTER USE. IF YOU COOL THE HANDS THE RING WILL GO ON. USE SOAP TO LUBRICATE. IF THE RING CUTS OFF CIRCULATION AND YOU CANT REMOVE IT YOU CAN GET IT CUT AT AN ER OR A FIRE STATION. A JEWELER CAN MAKE A RING LARGER AND ATTACH A BAND TO KEEP IN FROM FALLING OFF
