Hi Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern...

First of all the bleeding your girlfriend had a week after intake of Unwanted 72 should be breakthrough bleeding. This bleeding occurs due to intake of Unwanted 72 pill & is normal feature of intake of this pill. Breakthrough bleeding means that Unwanted pill intake was successful in preventing pregnancy.
Now as per back pain this could also be side effect of the pill. You could take an anti-inflammatory medicine like diclofenac/ ibuprofen. This back pain will go on its own with time.

However, if you still feels back pain or if bleeding occurs even after a week then you should consult a gynecologist

Don't worry you would be fine
Hope this information helps
