Im in the US Army, How bad are Thoracic Buldge Disks?

I have 2 on my thoracic, i am also in the us army and i struggle with this injury for 3 years now, im at the point i cannot wear gear or lift more than 15 pounds. Im deployed and im in pain 24/7. Do you think i am duty fit? i personally dont think so. What can happen to me if i keep pushing the us army for treatment?
