cold as you chords

I also lost my voice after TT. The Dr. said my vocal cords were not touched during surgery, but when he tested them before closing, one was paralyzed. It bothered him more than me. On my followup visit 2 weeks later he talked about a procedure he could do if they stayed that way, but it was unnecessary as my voice returned after 6 weeks.

My vocal chords are basically destroyed by acid reflux, so have great empathy. Stomach acid is very strong, it can and did not only wreck my vocal chords but in a very short period of time, ate away the enamel on my teeth. My situation that caused the problem was extreme and fixed with surgical procedures, but I croak when I talk. If you take PPI's, I'd suggest you take them exactly like your doctor prescribes, which is usually 1/2 to 1 hour prior to a major meal.

I can tell you that hypoechoic has a better chance of being cancer. Also if you get an uptake scan done, you will know if the nodule is cold or hot. A cold nodule (photopenia) has more chance of being cancer. I had a 2cm solid hypoechoic nodule that was cold. I had my thyroid removed and found that I had stage two cancer. I had papillary in one nodule and follicular varient in the a different nodule. I would not just say "your fine" and let it go.

Hi there and welcome to the MS Forum...I know we haven't spoken before but I wanted to comment on what you are dealing with as I have dealt with it before. It first happened to me when I had a major relapse going on a few years ago. I would be trying to drink something with my pills and I couldn't swallow...and yes it was like I had forgotten HOW to swallow and there were a few times when I had to spit out the liquid in my mouth because I simply could not swallow.

It's difficult to say exactly what's going on without examining you, but if your problem doesn't get better gradually, see your surgeon. There are a number of unusual situations where you can have issues after a trach tube is taken out.

I had my vocal chords damaged during intubation (2.5 hr. surgery). They kept telling me wait, it might be GERD, try this and that. Well, almost 2 years of suffering with a voice that sometimes was there and sometimes wasn't. It was very hoarse and I had trouble being heard. Next week I undergo "Direct Laryngoscopy" to remove vocal chord lesions. I have been told that I should have a 50% improvement in my voice and the lesions can come back.

The TMJ might be causing stress to build up in your throat which can trigger the VCD as well. You might try finding a GOOD vocal coach who will help you learn to relax your throat as you sing. That has helped me a lot. As a fellow vocalist I know this is hard to take. I lost my voice for several months this winter as well. Take care.

To come on suddenly would be medical emergency, and the cause could be the rupture of the papillary heart muscle (area that attaches chords to valve leaflets) or the chords could break away from the leaflets, etc. Sometimes perhaps the left ventricle can quickly enlarge and that would skew the opening (orifice), but there would be other signs and symptoms associated.

There is a nerve running through the thyroid that controls vocal function, it may be affected by nodules, but yours are small. You might have an ENT check your vocal chords, and also check you for GERD. As for the sclerosis, I have never heard that term, probably has to do with the texture.

hello, im having a little trouble yelling or singing loudly. before, i used to yell and sing loudly for as long as i could without any problems, but now when i try to do that it feels like my throat gets fatigued or i have a bit of disconfort. speaking in a normal volume i have no problem with. All this began when i tried to lift a really heavy object and as i heaved i flexed my neck muscles with too much force. thats when i felt the change.

I would suggest talking to and ENT about the problem with the vocal chords - they may need to run a scope down your throat to visualize the chords and see what is happening. Continue to drink tons of water to flush out the radiation and use some throat spray to see if that helps but see and ENT.

s condition. If you have any follow-up questions, you are welcome to respond. Take care.

Normally the hoarseness is pretty much gone after the first or second week. You may find that even your vocal chords were actually bruised around a bit with the intubation tube. This can take a little longer to heal than an easy intubation. Grazing can happen for many reasons. The vocal chords are too far down the throat to be able to have a drink or food to help them.

(exercise bike, and stretches), you could end up damaging and tearing muscles and tendons, which you do not want. Same for singing. It is important to do "warm up" exercises to gently loosen up the vocal chords before starting to sing using the full vocal range. Again, damage can be caused to the vocal chords if these are strained. Pilates was developed in the early 20th century by Joseph Pilates, a physical-culturist from Mönchengladbach, Germany.

I have asthma but this is not related to this as far as I am aware. I am currently awaiting an appointment with ENT as my GP thinks I may have damaged my vocal chords but wondered if you have any advise in the meanwhile?

Since the thyroid is no longer pressing against your trachea, it could be that the coal chords are re-learning, so to speak how to be in the correct range for you. If it still gives you grief, as Laura says give the doctor a call.

It could be from any where in your respiratory system. Most likely coming either from your sinuses and collecting in your throat over night. You don't mention any other symptoms, like coughing, shortness of breath, wheezing or chest tightness? GERD sometimes can cause problems where the stomach contents aspirate high enough up the esophagus to reach the voice chords or into your lungs.
