I am 26 years old unmarried girl. I work everyday 9 hours sitting job. Since Last 3 weeks I am having sciatica pain in my right leg. I am not able stand and walk for a single minute due to severe pain. Yesterday I had done my L/S MRI and this should slip disc (PIVD L4/5). Orthopedics suggested me for 10 days bed rest and given some medicines. I just want to how many days it takes to completely recover from this problem without surgery. Would it be completely cure by taking medicines only. Please suggest.

Hello lybrate-user, slip disc common in young age treatment provided by doctor seems to be ok initially you need to take rest, analgesics with muscle relaxant medication, avoidance of prolong sitting once you feel better start physiotherapy ,at this age recovery is usually complete if taken care further do consult.
