What Does Sudden, Dull, Bruise Like Pain In Back And Mild Fever Suggest?

Several days ago out of the blue when I sat down and rested by back against the couch, I felt this dull pain like someone had punched me in the back and there was a bruise. I thought oops I getting a chest cold, but the pain is now in the front as well and there's no congestion and maybe just a little mild fever. When I take two tylenol, the pain subsides. What do you think. I'm a 61 year old female with no chronic problems, and taking no meds. Last physical was good. Do you think this is the flu?
