Vocal cord paralysis post total Thyroidectomy
Hello, I had a total thyroidectomy with central neck dissection on April 13. My thyroid was stuck to everything so I ended up with nerve damage and right vocal cord paralysis. Has anyone else had this problem? How long did it take to heal? I did have it injected with prolaryn gel a couple of days ago but I am still having difficulty breathing and feel like there is something in my throat all of the time. My voice is louder and I think my swallowing is better but I can’t stand the need to constantly try and swallow something in my throat and the difficulty breathing especially with talking, with all the complications I have had I am just about at my wits end and I feel myself getting depressed again, thanks for your help
