A member asked:
My feet were swollen yesterday, would my arthritis have anything to do with that?

Impossible to say.: If there is no pain and the swelling improves overnight it is edema and not related to inflammation. Meds such as Naproxen can cause fluid retention.

Probably not: You are describing swelling of both feet that occurred just 1 day ago which suggests you are retaining fluids that can lead to edema (swelling) in the feet. Some of the medications used to treat RA (like Prednisone or NSAID) can cause edema . Swelling due to RA would tend to be over local joint groups whereas edema is generalized. If the swelling is bothersome you may want call the doctor.
