Question by freckles: could lumps in back be a sign of lymphoma?
My mom has these lumps in her back kind of under the skin, and she has had them for sometime now. She went to the doctor and one told her it was prob. due to her lupus and one told her it was just tissue build up. She is taking a medical assistant class and her instructor who is a RN told her that she would go have them looked at again for another opinion, because in a recent lung x ray there was some strange dark spot that appeared but no in a place where cancer is normally found, which she said lymphoma can cause strange spots like that to appear. She was being treated for a lung infection. I have read that lymphoma can cause swollen lymph nodes in the neck, groin, armpits and organs like the spleen etc. but haven’t seen anything about the actual back.
could it be a sign of lymphoma.?

also she has been told it could be a result of her lupus or even her rheumatoid arthritis could this be it?
she hasn’t really had much other symptoms the only fever she has had is when she had bronchitis, and hasn’t had one since finishing her antibiotics.but i have also read that in early stages no signs may appear. she has had these lumps for years.

Millions of people around the world suffer from the painful symptoms of arthritis like decreased mobility, inflammation, and severe pain. This leads to not enjoying the things a person usually does and to participate in physical activities. Keeping up with friends is also a frustration like weekend bowling or out-of-town camping. Arthritis pain relief is treatments that can free a person from the agony of arthritis and enable a person to perform a task of daily living. This relief differs from every person’s case and the type of arthritis. Although there are many kinds of arthritis, the famous three are osteoarthritis, gouty arthritis, and rheumatoid arthritis.
The use of NSAID (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug) which is anti-inflammatory is the most popular in arthritis pain relief. It is a prescription kind of arthritis pain relief; examples of this kind of medication are Celebrex, Vioxx, and Bextra. However, side effects have been reported in using these drugs such as gastrointestinal problems and increased risk of stroke or heart attack. Another form is the pain relievers. These are over-the-counter drugs (without prescription) such as aspirin, acetaminophen, ibuprofen, and naproxen. Unfortunately, it is not recommended for prolonged use due to its adverse effect in liver and kidney. In worst cases of arthritis, narcotics and steroids are being prescribed by doctors for arthritis. Narcotics are very powerful painkillers; these are codeine, oxycodone, hydrocodone, and propoxyphene.
However, the medication is habit forming and can lead to addiction. Steroids are very powerful anti-inflammatory medicines. It reduces the activity of anti-bodies that causes the inflammation. The drug is administered in a high dose and being tapered, otherwise it will cause harmful effects in the body. 
Natural arthritis pain relief is now getting popular nowadays due to its efficacy and having less to no side effects. These are acupunctures and herbal medicines. However, it is always advisable to consult a physician before trying any alternative arthritis pain relief. Having arthritis is sometimes inevitable, especially if the type is hereditary, but to live a normal life is a personal choice. Arthritis pain relief is now here to make us live the way we used to.
