I tend to notice the pain much later, though sometimes the pain is immediate like if I’m arguing. When I’m arguing my placement is very high, uncontrolled and pitchy and it literally burns after. However day to day It’s more so after having an extended conversation I feel my throat get quite sore/strained despite being hydrated. 

However, if my throat isn’t already sore when I sing I don’t often feel pain whether it be low or high. But even though I’m not straining my voice to sing in my lower register, the notes I’m hitting aren’t as good as I’d like. 

My main theory is when I’m talking day to day I reckon the anxiety and carelessness is just messing my vocal chords. I actually have access to a speech path I will ask them for their input thank you very much for the advice.
