Hi All
My voice is really going downhill. I had my completion beginning of April and it wasn't too bad straight afterwards. It was dodgy after the hemi but got better before the 2nd op. My vocal chords were checked at the end of April and they were moving ok.
About 3 weeks ago I felt an unusual sharp burning pain in my throat and my voice went really husky for a few days. It got better but then this last week it's been really bad again, sometimes only managing a whisper. The pain has come and gone and the voice cuts in and out almost randomly sometimes. I don't feel unwell apart from fatigue so i don't think it's a virus.
I'm a classically trained singer but no chance of singing at the mo, I can only just speak. Is it too early to ask for speech therapy? Is there anything else it might be - I've seen a couple of people mention silent reflux before?
This is really getting me down. I spent an average of about 20 hours a week singing (3 choirs, lessons, practicing, performances etc) before all this and I'm struggling to make myself understood in basic conversations at the mo.
Thanks for reading!
