hi.
it is best if you consult with a doctor, preferably a general surgeon, for physical examination and clinical evaluation. it has been years since your initial problem. your current condition may or may not be related to it. imaging, such as CT-scan, will be requested for further evaluation of your complaint. management (medical and surgical - repair of the laceration if needed), depending on the extent of the injury will be directed accordingly.
hope this helps.
good day!!
