What Do Knots With Pain In Rheumatoid Arthritis Indicate?

I have rheumatoid arthritis and I have large knots on my right wrist, both sides, and on my achilles tendon on the right side also. I am taking actemera. My bones in my right anckle and the bottom of my leg have several knots up the bone. Also, I have them up my arms and on my elbows. My questions is, are they nodules or something else. They hurt if I put any pressure on them. I get really sharp pains. My rheumatogist never gives me an answer.
