Engagement Ring Scare

Stephanie, on December 21, 2017 at 10:56 Posted in Before the wedding 0 10

I just have to share my (almost) misfortune last night! Every once in awhile, my hand feels itchy and hot and swells up. Well, this happened last night. And, it was the hand with my engagement ring! We were at the grocery store when it happened, and it was too late to get my ring off when I noticed it. This is the third time it's happened, and the swelling doesn't get too bad, but last night it felt like the swelling kept getting worse and then I started thinking that I would have to cut the ring off! (My mind does go to the worst case scenario!)

Anyway, I was able to get the ring off, the swelling didn't go down last night, so I didn't wear it at all and my finger felt so weird! I really missed wearing it!

It's back on my finger now and it feels so much better! I never wore rings before getting this one, so it's strange how quickly I became accustomed to it!

    I have heard od material of the ring not agreeing with the skin. It could be issue and find out from your doctor if thats the case. Buy the ring that will be correct and everything should be fine.

    Well that is very odd. I hope your doctor can figure it out.

    My finger got like that from another ring I wore. It was so bad that my skin would start to peal off. So I had to take it off the ring off for a week to heal and hope to god it didn’t happen again.
    But it could be a reaction to you touching something at the grocery store.

    I don't think so because the other two times it happened I didn't have the ring yet. I can only wear gold and silver earrings, but the ring is gold. Fiance bought it from a friend but said he had it inspected--I forget the word for that--and it was verified as real.

    Good idea. I hope it isn't anything in the makeup of your ring causing this reaction.

    That's super cute it's his grandmothers! And, makes it even more irreplaceable! My ring used to belong to a friend of my fiance's. I'm not sure what her story is but she is single since I've known her. I love it though!

    My doctor just thinks its an allergy, but she didn't think it was severe enough to test. It's happened three times now in the past year and a half, but the first since getting engaged. It's been different situations each time as well, so hard to narrow down what could have caused it. I'm going to go for allergy testing in the new year.

    Oh no! Glad it all worked out. Do you know what causes the sensation in your hand?

    My engagement ring is my Fiance's grandmothers. She passed away this year so if anything happened to it, it would probably be the worst thing ever for me!
