Re: "America is WILD"
Wedding ring stuck on finger for hours, with swelling and substantial pain. Know the hospital could remove it with an on-site anti-inflammatory and string.
Spouse says to go to the emergency room.
Not going due to cost.
Yes, America is wild. 
Currently typing to distract myself. Ice didn't work. Warm water didn't work. Same for string. Acetaminophen may be kicking in, though, for pain.
Put the finger in warm oil? Worked for me once
Tried vaseline and oil. But you mean oil warmed over a stove? If so, then I'll try it. Never wearing a metal wedding ring again. Going with rubber.
Not hot obvs but yeh warmed a bit. Dunno if it'll help but I guess worth a try?
