the pulse you said is high though as you sy its regular , it means that it is waht we call sinus tachycardia , which i believe is secondary yto the fever and backache , which should be evaluated with relevant investigation for the cause of fever and backache . something i may suggest is sonography of KUB for any urinary tract infection , kidney stone or varied causes . if backacke persistant and severe a xray and preferably mri spine lumber for rarer causes which may resulth in low grade fever with backache , if routine instigation as your GP may suggest are normal. however get an ecg done as many a times when the heart rate is fast as human someone can misdiagnose it to be regular .
