You can use cookie to set "back button pressed" flag.
eg. jQuery + jquery cookie plugin
$(document).ready(function($) {
if ($.cookie("reload") === *YOUR-PAGE-ID*) {
$.removeCookie("reload");
location.reload();
} else if (window.history && window.history.pushState) {
window.history.pushState("forward", null, "./#forward");
$(window).on("popstate", function() {
$.cookie("reload", *YOUR-PAGE-ID*); // set cookie with some page id
});
}
});
Since popstate is not supported by older browsers you should use history.js

This will only refresh current page on button clik. You need to store 'navigation back' state. – Marek Ka. Dec 16 '14 at 09:22
