A couple weeks after surgery my voice was still on the weak side then around 4 weeks, I started to get a sharp pain when I talked and my voice would go in and out. Now at 10 weeks, my voice is hoarse and goes in and out all day long. It sounds like I'm going through puberty and sometimes no sound comes out when I talk. I think I have scar tissue from being intubated during and after surgery (I couldn't breathe so they put a tube down my throat) I'm scheduled to see an ENT May 18, but I return to work April 30th and need to be able to talk all day. Has anyone experienced this? Can it go away on its own? Is getting worse a sign that its getting better??:/

I have only had a sore throat after being intubated. I will say that when I get under a lot of stress I tend to lose my voice. I hope you find solution soon.

I saw a case on one of the ER TV shows about having to intubate a girl who wanted to be a singer. It was her life or her singing voice. I don't think it was her life or her voice period but I certainly wouldn't know.
