Hellp, Please do not apply oil and do not massage over inflammed area. Go for hot and cold fermentation. Do active exercises and rest. When the swelling is gone then you can apply oil over the muscular area.

No oil or any superficial application is beneficial in ra rather it can only give temporary relief. Better to apply ice in swollen joints.
