Why Am I Getting Back Pain With Sweats And Chills?
For about a week now I have been having an aching back pain, near the sides of my back along with heavy sweats and chills along with running a temp. below 96 most of the time. It gets down to 93 when I have the periods of heavy sweating. My whole body aches something terrible and I am so very tired even upon waking after 10 hrs of sleep. I am worried it might be kidneys. I also have lupus, with butterfly rash and RA and Fibro.

Hi,
Pain in this area coupled with fever could indicate a urinarty tract inferion. Therefore, I suggest you get your urine checked for infection.
