It depends: 95% of the time Slip Disc resolves with rest, NSAID and proper Physical therapy in otherwise healthy young person. I do not know your age and other condition . If this was post traumatic after a fall, or severe exertion and symptoms are severe; Epidural injection,or oral High dose of Dexamethazone,is given initially to relieve the pressure. If radicular pain persists, consult spinal surgeon.
