Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A cast or traction would not necessarily relieve pain and inflammation in a person with rheumatoid arthritis. In fact, immobilization of joints can exacerbate symptoms. The other options (drugs, heat/cold applications, rest/exercise) can all be effective in managing pain and inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis.
