what is this brown discharge?

I've been having lower back pain for over a week.. well yesterday I started having cramps in my lower stomach and when I go pee and wipe there's like a brown discharge. It doesn't have an odor and it doesn't look like old blood. Any ideas

It is old blood mixed with your discharge.  It can look funky and not like blood at all.  Is your period due?  Some people get this before their period.  It could be due to a hormonal imbalance as well. And lastly, if you have had unprotected sex, it could mean you need to take a pregnancy test.  

So, more information would be helpful.
