Did i Damage my Vocal Chords? I feel dull pain and Irritation in my throat?

You do not need to be worried as much as the previous contributor said at least as far as you are fairly honest here. There are many muscles involved in the vocal production. The fact, that you feel the pain from the side(along with the other one, that your voice sounds normally when you speak) does proves that there is nothing wrong with your vocal cords. You have been singing with tension - tension of a particulatr muscle - which hurts now. You need to find way to sing more freely. I just have solved problem of one client of mine - he did a couple gigs and have been recording a CD - he overloaded it and could not sing because a pain like you describe. It was 2 weeks ago. I saw him just 2 days ago - he sung very nicely, high and loud - with no pain at all. My advise? Stay at home, rest your voice DO NOT SING!! Avoid a temperature extremes of drinks at least for a few days. You will see that the pain goes out however, will return very quickly when you start sing in the bad way. In case you would not sing at all and the pain would be still there after 2 weeks, than go to a doctor, please. Either way, you seem to love singing. So find somebody who shows you how to do it - a vocal coach, no online, books or DVD's please :O) Good luck! Feel free to email me how you doying :O)

Listen to Birdgirl she's right. However nobody has advised you that this could be part of mutation while you are going through puberty. It would also seem that you are yelling not singing if you expect to feel a "kick". If you felt like advising how old you are then people could advise you with a more accurate explanation, However I would suspect that it is Puberty related.

That's a medical question that can only be answered by a doctor who has actually had a chance to examine you and ask you questions. Basically, singing shouldn't hurt or make your throat feel weird. That's nature's way of telling you to please stop what you are doing. You say you just discovered you could sing "a few days ago"? That's strange as most people who love to sing have been doing so all their lives. You probably did overdo it, but allergies and even illnesses can also cause your throat problems. Once again--you won't know until you go to a doctor. Next, if everything checks out okay (maybe you need rest or treatment)--consider taking voice lessons so you can learn to sing properly--that is, in a way that won't destroy your new-found voice. There are even good voice teachers that teach non-classical styles of singing. Make sure you get someone to teach you face to face because teaching yourself will only run you into the problems you've already come across--or worse. Even with great advice (from a video or articles)--without proper guidance and feedback it's too easy to completely misinterpret something and end up doing more harm than good. Exploring your new voice can be fun--but only if you don't damage it. It's like discovering a Ferrari with your name on it in the driveway, and taking it for a spin--onto the closest gravel path and then diving over a cliff.
