Hello Practo User,
Of course your problem can be cured.
Before talking of curing , you must understand two things....the cause of your pain is mechanical pressure on the nerve.
So you must take all the precautions to relieve pressure on the nerve root.
How much time entirely depends on how best you can take care of your back.

Don't kill the the pain,kill the cause of pain.
