Hello dear,I understand your concern.In my opinion brown discharge along with pain abdomen and backache needs to rule out miscarriage.The bleeding can be due to hormonal abnormalities like thyroid abnormalities,progesterone insufficiency,miscarriage ,ectopic pregnancy,excess physical strain etc.So a ultrasound need to be done to know the pregnancy status.Dont worry.It might subside with apt treatment.Avoid physical strain and intercourse. Take rest.
