Hi there, Sad that you are suffering from pain in such a young age. As you mentioned you have disc bulge and pain radiating to your left hand. Which can be because of compression of nerve at your cervical level. So you need to correct root cause of your problem. Need to do such movement of neck which decompress nerve and reduces disc bulge and avoid such a movement which increases bulge. In physiotherapy we have such a exercise which will help you I suggest you following 1. Rest and posture correction: take rest if possible for a week and also avoid sitting slouch for long time and sit on chair with back rest, straight upright 2. Apply hot pack thrice day for 15 min 3. Apply local ointment like volini 4. Avoid using too many pillows during sleep 5. Most important is do head retraction exercise (google it) in lying in bed as well as sitting on chair every two hourly in day for week if no improvement in one week than suggest you to consult local physiotherapist for further help. If you show improvement than continue for another two weeks hopefully you will be get well soon my best wishes thank you thank you.

Please consult the near by therapist for quick relief. Since you have pain for more than 10 years it is suggestible to go for cervical muscle strengthening exercise. Use collar will definitely be helpful for him to maintain the good posture. And also cervical pillow can be used which might make you to have better posture of the shoulder neck and arm. Neck tilt: from the sitting position, tilt your head down so your chin touches your chest. Hold this position for 5 second s. Return to the starting position and repeat. Do this five times. Side-to-side neck tilt. From the same starting position, tilt you neck toward one shoulder, leading with your ear. Hold for 5 seconds and then return to the starting position. Do this five times on each side. Neck turn. Look straight ahead, then turn your head to one side, keeping your chin at the same level. Do this five times on each side. Neck stretch.
