Thanks for your query. I have gone through your query.
The throbbing pain in the area of injury can be because of the unhealed wound. Nothing to be panic, consult a general physician and get it evaluated. If it is infected, you need to take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin and metronidazole (if you are not allergic). If the wound is not healed, it might require a suturing after debridement. Mean while you can take an analgesic like diclofenac(if you are not allergic) for the pain.
I hope i have answered your query. Take care.
