Usually NSAIDs: What level disc - cervical or lumbar? What are your symptoms, what did your physician find on the neurological examination? Any motor or sensory loss - see neurosurgeon asap. For sciatica or back pain only - first line of pharmacological treatment are non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (nsaids).

Depends on symptoms: If no symptoms, do nothing. If mild symptoms anti-inflammatory medications work great (take with meals, and make sure you can take those -- clear with your primary care doctor). If symptoms is acute and very severe, you can get a Medrol (methylprednisolone) dose pack (oral steroids) which you take over 6 days... Ask you doctor to evaluate you first. You cannot have this if you have infection or brittle diabetic, etc..
