I forgot to remove a ring before bedtime — it turned into a real horror story

Let freedom ring!

A woman on TikTok documented her torturous, hours-long experience of getting a ring stuck on her finger that ended with a trip to an urgent care facility.

In the resurfaced clip, Briana P. from New York claimed she had fallen asleep after a night out and didn’t remove a crisscrossed ring from her middle finger.

“This is not a sob story. This is a real horror story,” she captioned a photo of the ring squeezing the life out of her finger. “This ring will not come off. Any remedies are appreciated.”

Briana proceeded to show off a variety of methods she had tried out, including soaking her finger in ice water, elevating her arm above her head in an attempt to bring down the swelling, and even wrapping the increasingly bloated finger with string to try and pull the ring off.

“For everyone inquiring, no it’s not off & this is the worst day of my life. Bye,” she wrote in another still.

Briana finally decided it was time to get some outside help and was driven to an undisclosed “first stop,” which was unsuccessful at removing the snug jewelry.

She appeared to go to a doctor’s office next but claimed they, too, were unable to unwrap it from her finger.

Briana also provided an unsuccessful update from “stop three,” but finally revealed that a City MD urgent care was the “real MVPS” and successfully removed the destroyed piece of pazazz.

“Holy s—t I AM FREEEEEEEEEE,” she captioned a photo of her jewelry-less hand “THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR FOLLOWING.”

However, many commenters were confused about how Briana managed to get the ring stuck in the first place.

“I sleep with my rings on every night I’m so lost,” one person revealed.

“I’ve slept in rings nightly for over a decade and this has never happened to me even once. Is this normal?” another asked.

Briana replied, “It for sure was not normal :/ but I also never ever sleep in my rings & was drinking the night before.”

“That’s on being dehydrated,” another person chimed in.

“Ya live and ya learn,” Briana wrote back.

One commenter claimed Briana’s situation was her “worst nightmare” while others provided their own experiences with stuck rings.

“PSA If this happens go to a jewelry store!! I work at one and we ALWAYS cut rings off!! For free too,” one person claimed.

“This happened to me before & I had to go to the fire department to get it off LOL. Ever since then I never wear rings out,” another revealed.
