What Could Be The Reason For Swelling In Abdomen Between Navel And Hip Considering Having Rheumatoid Arthritis?

Have noticed a recent swellin in abdomen between navel and right hip. Have rheumatoid arthritis, just getting over shingles, am 72, weigh 210lbs, and feel well most always. Take methotrexate 20mgs weekly, 20mgs Crestor, & small losartin. Any thoughts? See drs regularly and in generally good health.
