Vocal Cord dysfunction?

Hello, I have a few vocal disorders and about two weeks ago had my second vocal procedure/surgery. 3 days post op I started to have a very tingling, prickling sensation in my vocal cords and that's followed by several twitches and spasms. They happen in clusters then stop. Some are more severe then others and it feels like my airways is obstructed till the spasm stops. Anyone know what this prickling and spasming sensation could be in the vocal cords? It's very frighting and I'm not sure what I do. Thank you!

Hi @jennymccormick. With this new development of vocal spasms after your recent vocal surgery it would be important to have that checked out by your physician. You mentioned that this is your second surgery for a vocal disorder. Did the spasms happen after the first surgery too? Have you contacted your doctor or surgeons office?
