What Causes Lower Backache?

I was feeling fine about 4 hours ago. A dull ache in my lower back (my right side) started and now I feel queasy and have a low grade fever. 99.6 degrees. Fortuitously I have my annual physical tomorrow and would rather wait for my regular doctor to examine me before heading for the urgent care center. Thoughts? I am 50 years old and about 3 years ago had to have lithotripsy for a kidney stone. oh, and about 3 weeks ago started the Keto Diet to help with my chronic migraine (and it has, miraculously - I used to have 3-4 migraines a week. Now only one in 3 weeks. Amazing...) Thoughts? Thanks.
Oh, and I am a woman.
