Hi, I have gone through your question. The brown discharge with backache and mild aching in the lower abdomen has possibilities of:
1. bleeding in uterus (subchorionic bleed)
2. missed abortion
I would suggest you to get a ultrasound done to ascertain the cause. If it is subchorionic bleed and the fetus is alive, then you will require progesterone support in the form of capsules or injections and rest. If it is a missed abortion, then you need to get it out by surgical or medical method.
Hope this answers your question.
Wishing you good health
