A: >> There is a slight grammar difference. "Filled" is a past tense of the verb "to fill". However, it is the 'past participle' and is being used as an adjective to describe whatever has the setbacks. >> "Full" is just an adjective (originally made from the same verb but grammatically not a verb form itself). It is also describing whatever has the setbacks.
>> Both mean the same thing. The difference is grammatical. "Filled" vaguely suggests that the setbacks accumulated over time. "Full" is just a description of the present and has no time reference. This kind of difference might be used in poetry, but in everyday speech--there is no difference. Choose which one you want to use based on whether you like the "i" sound or the "u" sound better.
