Hi,you had an injury and feeling difficulty in taking deep breath, clearing the throat, movement in the area, sharp spasm every 15 minutes. You can go through the internet, but it cant be your final diagnosis.Even we at the other end of the net cant decide the diagnosis.
Even the doctors you consult also may not come to a conclusion with out the Xray,and M.R.I. So iadvise you to consult an orthopedic surgeon for diagnosis and treatment. Thank you.
