Hello
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
I would come up with these possibilities for these symptoms , these includes.
1 Pelvic inflammatory disease , as you are complaining that there is brown discharge and pain in back .So these symptoms may be due to PID. Diagnosis can be confirmed by vaginal swab examination .
2 Lumbo -sacral spine disease , this is the most common cause , diagnosis can be confirmed by C T scan of L4- 5 sacrum region.
3 Urinary tract infection or U T I . Diagnosis can be confirmed by urine culture .This is most common cause of mild degree pain in back as well lower abdominal cramps .
In my opinion consult a gynecologist and get his opinion.
No chance of any cyst or pregnancy ( as you are taking birth pill )
Good luck.
