My lumbar ADR was an amazing success. My short term post-op recovery was way worse than average. I think that about 3 times in the first 6 months, another time in the next year and again at 2 years post-op I had setbacks that worried me so much I ran to the local orthopedic surgeon's office for xrays... "fit me in today!"
The roller coaster is not uncommon. Take it easy. If you have a sudden onset of new symptoms... you need to let your doc know. You need to keep them in the loop and let them decide what is normal recovery and what needs to be investigated. Having said that, you sound like you are way better than I was at 3 weeks. At 3 months, I was playing tennes. See the 'life after surgery' website linked in my signature file below.
Good luck... please keep us posted. All the best,
Mark
