Med questions should be reviewed with doc, but it's typical for patients to be reducing their meds and increasing their activity levels after surgery. You may get to crossover point where med reduction or activity increase (or both) is too fast based on how your recovery is going.
I know a lot of ADR patients with new symptoms after surgery... or old symptoms returned or stronger after surgery... these can take a long time to fade... sometimes it goes very fast... sometimes not... Yes... we all have a chance to heal and 4 weeks is not very long in the scheme of things for spine patients.
Re: throat... did you have big anterior osteophytes (bone spurs). Still there?
All the best.
