I couldn’t get my wedding ring off either, my finger swelled up so bad with trying to get it off, trying all the things you did. At my pre op joint class the nurse told me they could just tape it, but I figured with as tight as it was, I better get it resized. It rarely felt tight, it seems like my finger never gained any weight in that spot. I’d been wearing it for 41 years. So, like you, I had a jeweler cut it off. We had had our wedding rings engraved inside with the date and our initials, and I was thrilled that the cut did not interfere with any of the writing! (Thank you, Lord!) It has been resized and now I take it off regularly, since I can, so I can keep it cleaner when baking, or painting, or whatever.
