Brief Answer:
Can be a vaginal infection.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The mild pain and discharge that you are having can be due to a vaginal infection. Some amount of vaginal discharge is normal, there are glands that secrete a mucoid discharge that varies according to where a women is in her menstrual cycle. If the discharge is slightly yellow, with itching then it may be a yeast infection which can be treated with an over the counter anti fungal cream or ovules
If it is whitish gray with an odor then it may be due to bacterial vaginosis which is also treated with topical agents.
If there is a organism mixed with the mucus to cause a discharge, identification would require a swab to be done by your doctor.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

You can start with mild pain killers and a hot compress for the back. Do get some oral muscle relaxants prescribed in case the pain is persistent. Exercise will help once the acute pain subsides.
