Dear Beverly, if it's taking a few weeks for your voice not to HURT when you use it, I really do think that you must be normally letting too much air pressure work your vocal cords. The method I use for creating much more efficiency in breath management for sounding the voice has been remarkably helpful for people with such issues as Muscle Tension Dysphonia, scar tissue, polyps, nodes, partial cord paralysis and even in a couple of people with Spasmodic Dysphonia (which is neurological in cause so breath pressure management does not cure, only helps with symptoms). I can't promise cures, I am not a doctor. But my PPP method of minimizing the air pressure used at the vocal cords and stretching the scaffolding for the larynx and diaphragm does seem to help every case I come across. If you'd like a lesson, let me know. Meanwhile, check out the following video for the speaking voice… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hkdJqnKGT4I

I have been diagnosed with vocal inflamation and very small ulcers on my vocal cords following a bad head virus and cough and laryngitis. I was told to treat with voice rest, Zantac. This is the 4th time in 23 years that I got this. The last 3 times I went to a speech therapist to teach me voice techniques to speak in my head so the strain is off my vocal cords. It usually takes a few weeks to get my voice back without hurting. I am a psychotherapist, so I need to be able to speak. Do you feel that t am abusing my voice causing this problem or just do to viruses every 5 to 10 years. It is very debilitating and isolating. I would like to avoid ever happening again.
