Jan 15 - last period
Jan 30 - sex, condom stayed in
Around Feb 4 - lower back pain
Today - mucus discharge with some brown in it
Feb 15 - period due
Is that right?
There is a chance that you could be pregnant, because the day you had sex when the condom stayed in was right around the time you probably would have been ovulating. We tend to ovulate about two weeks before our next period comes.
However, you'll have to wait a little longer to find out for sure. On its own, a clear or whitish discharge doesn't really mean anything. If it turns lightish to mediumish brown it could be implantation bleeding -- I'm assuming this is sort of like spotting? -- but it also could be just something normal that has to do with your hormones this month.
I wouldn't think the back pain on the 4th has anything to do with any of this, unless it's regularly something that happens for you around the middle of your cycle?
Unfortunately, to be sure of whether you are pregnant, you'll have to wait until your period is due and, if it doesn't come, take a HPT to see what it says. Most of them are very accurate now within one day of a missed period.

Will you do that and come back and let us know?
