Red, swollen leg in rheumatoid arthritis could suggest active inflammation or infection — needs urgent attention.

Consult her rheumatologist immediately. Till then, keep the leg elevated, apply cold compress gently, and avoid massage.
Health Tips
Do not self-medicate. If fever or increased redness develops, seek emergency care, as it could indicate cellulitis (skin infection).
