You are getting old: You are only 30 years old but you have put 30 years of wear and tear on your spine. Disc protrusion & disc bulge are what happens as we get older. This can cause symptoms, but this does not have to. Symptoms could be a mild as neck pain to as serious as myelopathy which is spinal cord dysfunction. You wrote t which means thoracic which is rare. If you meant c which means cervical, which is common
