Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
If you are still running a fever then the doctor will definitely postpone the operation and wait till your vitals are stable.
By the symptoms you describe, it seems you have a viral fever. Normally a blood panel is done along with NS1 antigen test to rule out dengue and a anti malarial antigen test to rule out malaria.
If however you are from a developed country the above mentioned conditions are rare.I suggest you discuss the possibility of a kidney issue with our doctor.
In the meantime take paracetmol 500mg 6th hourly for the fever and if the back pain does not subside take a tramadol (Ultram) 50mg twice a day
