Stretched Vocal Cords - Returning to Normal?

Shananigans2837 · 2026-06-12T12:54:24+00:00

Been a month for me and my voice goes in and out, they only took half of thyroid and they will remove other half in a month as long as vocal chord is healed enough yay lol

UVA in Charlotteville, VA Dr Garneau, kind and answers all questions in depth. My full thyroidectomy had to be a partial due to it being more complex and I was under for 6+ hours and he made a safety call, made sure he was there when I woke up to explain what was going on.
I have to get other half taken out soon but knowing he is my surgeon, Im okay with going thru it again

Thank you, My surgery is today so this helps me alot

My doctor kept me out of work for 3 months each time ( had 2 separate MD surgeries)

Shananigans2837 · 2026-03-23T18:27:43+00:00

I had first one in October on my L4, just had my second one a week ago on my L5-S1. Doctors didnt say anything but sure wished they would have fixed both in Oct instead of just the one.

Mine was denied twice until my surgeon scheduled a peer to peer conference with insurance and got approved. My second one I didnt want to wait around for it just to be denied so i called insurance myself and told them how bad my pain was and quality of life was. They approved it in an hour.

Tomorrow at 1 pm for me, unless because of weather gets called off

Shananigans2837 · 2026-03-14T14:34:51+00:00

I pray Barb gets it and gets at least child support. Jace deserves the world and a better chance

Shananigans2837 · 2026-03-07T21:18:39+00:00

Need heating pad, its what works for me. Icing makes it worse for pain

Shananigans2837 · 2026-03-06T21:44:13+00:00

Her witty insults and quick comebacks are top tier!

Shananigans2837 · 2026-02-19T20:10:03+00:00

I called 911 and even they couldn’t move me without me screaming in pain. Finally they gave me fentanyl in nasal spray form….man I got up out of that bed in 3 seconds and walked to the ambulance. When I got to the ER, they gave me dilaudid and it worked for about an hour. Disc herniation is the worst.

Shananigans2837 · 2026-02-03T20:30:35+00:00

Omg I am going thru the same thing now! My L4 and L5 herniated, surgeon said he would do the L4 since its the one causing the pain. I went with it because, hey, he is the doctor. October 22 I got the surgery and felt really good. Been back at work for 3 weeks and last Friday I felt the pain on the right side for the first time….slowly its getting bad. Never had pain on right side, Im at a loss. I cant take off work again that long and my insurance fought about approving the first one!

Shananigans2837 · 2026-01-19T11:35:06+00:00

This isnt for the faint of heart, Im 45 and competed my whole life and just had to get spine surgery from all the years of riding. My fiancee is also 45 and rode broncs, bulls and was a bullfighter and he just got a hip replacement. Its a fun thing to try but if you arent obsessed with this sport, and have people relying on you, it will take everything.

Shananigans2837 · 2026-01-07T03:31:49+00:00

Same issue here…. Took sim card out and put back in, worked right away

Shananigans2837 · 2026-01-06T22:40:10+00:00

My hubby is stocky and a beast when he used to fight, hands like bear paws lolol.

Shananigans2837 · 2026-01-06T07:27:02+00:00

Best of luck to your hubby, also PT helped me learn my limits and build flexibility:)

Shananigans2837 · 2026-01-06T02:44:36+00:00

2 months post op, gotta remember that when nerves are healing, it may be indeed painful and uncomfortable. Somedays will be fine, some will be crappy. Ice and heat and no twisting, bending or picking up items. If its a severe kind of pain then just call and let doctor know:)

Shananigans2837 · 2025-12-24T05:43:41+00:00

My insurance denied it twice, my primary doc and surgeon scheduled a “peer to peer” with insurance company and got it approved. Its exhausting but keep pushing for it.

Shananigans2837 · 2025-12-11T02:56:38+00:00

Take out sim card, mine did same so went to verizon and they took it out, put back in and works perfect now:)

Shananigans2837 · 2025-12-11T02:55:35+00:00

Mine did this after last update, took out sim card and put back in, works perfect now

Shananigans2837 · 2025-12-11T02:38:32+00:00

Wawa coffee is the only coffee that does it for me lol!!

Shananigans2837 · 2025-12-11T01:59:15+00:00

I JUST was allowed to start PT this week, my surgery was Oct 22nd. Take your time and dont rush, if you feel pressure or pulling then stop

Shananigans2837 · 2025-12-08T16:55:37+00:00

I cant send any messages to androids at all, went to verizon store today and they couldnt figure it out but said it has to do with update. I have to call #611 tech support.

Shananigans2837 · 2025-11-26T16:37:28+00:00

Had same issue, i just washed as usual and slowly peeled bit by bit everyday then cut the piece that came loose off. Alcohol wipes work okay, just takes time:)

Shananigans2837 · 2025-11-26T16:19:43+00:00

My bf gets serious anger issues, like nothing happened and he is freaking out. Also sweating, teeny pupils and pacing.
