Hello,
Single urine pregnancy test negative is not confirmatory. Repeat the test. If it is positive, then these signs are normal. Even if you are not pregnant, no need to worry because milk discharge can occur if you are not lactating. Avoid milk expression or any manipulation. Breast tenderness and back pain are common before menses.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Jyotsna Harlalka Kamra
