There : There are many causes of back pain. The most common causes are disk problems, degeneration, facet arthropathy, arthritis, etc. The presence of fever and sweating is more concerning for dangerous causes of back pain like infection or cancer. I would recommend her seeing a spine doctor or spine surgeon for workup of her back pain right away. Good luck!
