Your history is too prolonged to be of any lung condition that may last since childhood.
Needle pricking sensation is generally seen in the context of pleural effusion but that wont last so long. However a pleural thickening due to some old infection can last forever and cause such kind of a pain.
I would want you to see a chest physician and get your xray chest done to see for any pathology.
In some cases a muscular pain can cause such sensations
