A member asked:
8 months post thyroidectomy, how likely will my left cord become un-paralyzed and accessory nerve healed. my right arms affected by trap nerve damage?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Up to 1 year: Most ENT surgeons will wait 1 year before they consider intervention to do a procedure on the vocal cord to improve your voice. SO possibly 1 year before you give up on the possibility of recovery.
