The 2 go hand in hand. I don't know if the pain flair up causes the fever or the fever causes the pain.

Do you get your full blood count taken regularly plus ESR/PV and CRP and autoantibodies? Many rheumatic/ connective tissue diseases cause low level fevers and sweats as part of the disease process. I'm Hypothyroid so my temperature starts very low and, like you, a raised temperature for others can be a fever for me.
