I read that you can mix 2 cups oatmeal with 1 cup water and then put it into the microwave for 1 minute. My question is after application to the hand how long do I leave it on.
Thank you.

I think 10 minutes is sufficient, or until it gets cold.
I have read this before, but personally prefer Epsom salts soaks for my hand pain. Too easy to get burned with oatmeal. Follow the directions on the Epsom salt package and be sure to check water with a thermometer (no higher than 100 degrees...i prefer closer to 95) before putting your whole hand in so you don't get burned.
Eating oatmeal is helpful for reducing inflammation. I am talking about the real kind, not the instant sugared up kinds.
Hope you find relief!
Use a warm, moist towel on you hands for 15 minutes., and then slowly open your hands back and forth.
You can also put an icepack on the painful joint for 10 to 15 minutes to relieve the pain.
I hope this helps.
