Long-term lower back pain with leg pain — looking for advice

Hi everyone,

I’ve been dealing with lower back pain for around 9 months, and it has started affecting my daily life significantly.

It initially started after I lifted a half-bucket of water. Since then, the pain has continued and has gradually become more troublesome.

My current symptoms include:

Lower/mid-back pain

Sharp, pin-like/shooting pain going into my leg and hip

Pain around the ankle/leg

Difficulty standing or walking properly at times

Pain becomes worse with coughing or sneezing

Pain can become worse at night

Sitting for long periods also aggravates it because I have an IT job

I’ve already tried medicines and physiotherapy, including TENS/SWD, but I’m still struggling with the pain. An X-ray showed early osteoarthritis, but I’m wondering whether this could actually be sciatica or a disc/nerve-related problem.

I’m planning to consult an orthopaedic doctor again, but I’d really appreciate advice from people who have gone through something similar.

What helped you recover from chronic sciatica/back pain?

Did you need an MRI or consultation with a spine specialist/neurologist?

And how long did it take before you started feeling better?

Any genuine experiences or advice would be greatly appreciated. 🙏

Need help with getting a new LPG gas connection in BN Reddy Nagar, Hyderabad

Hi everyone,

I recently shifted to BN Reddy Nagar, Hyderabad, and I’m trying to get a new domestic LPG gas connection. However, I’m having a really frustrating experience.

I’ve been running here and there between the gas agency and other places, but the gas agency is not giving proper guidance or helping with the process. Every time I visit, I’m either sent somewhere else or given incomplete information.

Can someone from BN Reddy Nagar / nearby areas please guide me on:

What is the correct process for getting a new LPG connection?

Which documents are required?

Can it be applied for completely online?

Which LPG provider/agency is better in this area?

If the agency refuses or doesn't cooperate, where can I complain/escalate the issue?

If anyone has recently taken a new gas connection in BN Reddy Nagar, please share your experience, the agency name, or the correct procedure.

Any practical advice or contact details would be greatly appreciated. 🙏
