What Causes Painful Lumps In Lymph Nodes?

I found a painful lump, about the size of a grape, in my right thigh. A few days later one in my right armpit. A few days later inside of right elbow. Last night, inside of left elbow. Have ultra sound scheduled for Wednesday. Could this be some type of lymphoma? I take oriencia and arava for rheumatoid arthritis.
