1... Moist heat can promote relief of pain and decrease joint stiffness. Elevation of extremity would not have an effect on reducing pain in rheumatoid arthritis. Massage of extremities should be avoided because of a potential risk for emboli. Immobilization can lead to contractures, and range of motion to the involved joint should be maintained.
