What Causes Body Chills, Fever And Frequent Urination?

I have started experiencing chills then fever, back to chills, back to fever etc., for the last two days with temps ranging from 96.6 to 101.0. Also have body aches throughout body, headache, and feel a constant need to urinate - when I do urinate I get a bit of a tingling sensation that goes down my arms to my hands - no pain though. I don't know if it's all part of the same issue but all symptoms came on suddenly two days ago.

Hello!
I have been through your question.
Related your concern I think you have urinary tract infection (most probably pyelonephritis).Usually, a frequent urination, chills and fever are the symptoms of pyelonephritis.What I suggest for you is to do a physical examination by an infectious diseases specialist, urine test, urine culture,full blood count, azotemia/ creatinemia, abdominal echo (to exclude renal problems) in order to define better the diagnosis and to start the prompt adequate antibiotic (usually I prescribe ciprofloxacin or bactrim).
I hope my answer helps you.
I wish you a quick recovery.
