X-ray consultation: You posted on the Free Public Health Education site for HealthTap where we do not diagnosis, interpret tests, treat or refer. However, what you are requesting is a consultation- that is available on HealthTap's telemedicine site or via other telemedicine sites. The best second opinion would be in -person as it would also involve examination.
