What Causes Persistent Pain In Lower Back And Fluctuating Body Temperature?

My boyfriend is 27 and he s been having lower back pain for the past couple weeks. It s gradually been getting worse and he says it mainly hurts on his left side. Nothing has helped subside his pain, we ve tried Tylenol and ibuprofen with no luck. He s also been experiencing chills and sweating but hasn t checked his temperature. His doctor hasn t been any help at all.. he usually isn t and we re trying to find a new doctor. But in the meantime I was wondering what could be causing his back pain and what we could do to help it? I had him use a heating pad for a little while today and it seemed to help dull it for a little while but it s getting worse again. Please provide me with some input! Thanks in advance!
