Good for you: Glad to hear acdf (cervical spine surgery) has worked out for you with no pain or spasms for 10 days. At 10 days out, valium & Norco (hydrocodone and acetaminophen) would be used as needed. If there is no pain, insomnia, anxiety or spasms, there is no good reason to take these. Persistent cough, numbness, difficulty swallowing should be reported to the spine surgeon.

Yes: It seems from your lack of pain and spasms you no longer need Norco (hydrocodone and acetaminophen) or valium. That being said, I have concerns you need to have addressed by your surgeon related to your cough and intermittent numbness. May be due to temporary swelling, but be sure...See your surgeon.
