So & throughly both in one time can't be used.

Discuss is an intransitive verb, so it does not need a preposition such as about.
The use of so is ok here.
'discuss' 'reach' and 'order' are not followed by prepositions.

Discussed : Past participle and past tense is the same. So whenever we have this fact about something done in the past, we use past per tense and past participle use have/has for any perfect tense. Also no need of "So" or "about".

"About" is okay but "so" is unnecessary. The word "thoroughly" already explained the depth of that verb.
