Not related : Shingles is activation of virus that is already dormant in your spinal nerves. The swollen lymph nodes in your groin are likely reacting to an irritation or infection someplace in the lower extremities. Since you have RA your immune system doesn't react normally so you need to pay close attention to anything like swollen nodes and try to figure out the cause.

Not related: No, these are not related. Please see your family doctor as that would indicate possible inflammation or infection in another part of your body.
