Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Your Doctor has given you painkillers for a probable diagnosis of sciatica as ou have pain in the leg, which comes on walking.
I would advise you the following as the pain in the leg looks like coming from sciatica only.
- MRI of the lower spine.
- Consultation of a Neurosurgeon or Orthopedic Surgeon.
- Take an opinion of a Physiotherapist also if there is going to be no surgical intervention.
- IF the disc is causing too much of a pain and or motor weakness on clinical evaluation, you may need a Surgery, hence be prepared for this too.

I find this answer helpful
