Hi guys,
Last year I developed a vocal nodule in my right vocal fold which produced constant hoarseness, loss of register, 24/7 pain, discomfort, difficulty speaking and more. I sang trough that but eventually had to undergo surgery last October. Due to financial reasons I restarted singing about 2 weeks after the surgery and still am gigging 3-5 times a week. Doctor says recovery is going well although I should rest more. Should I do the course to help me in my recovery and avoid further damage? or should I wait fo heal completely?

You may want to consult your Dr. about that, but common sense tells me that singing with a structured program would be much better for rehabilitation than doing the 3-5 gigs a week, but if that is your way of making a living, then for sure get with your doctor.
That's all I can give ya.
