Brief Answer:
Any form of acute pain relief appropriate in addition to pregabalin

Detailed Answer:
Good morning. If by "spinal cancer" you mean there are either primary or metastatic cancerous lesions of either the bone or tumors involving the spinal cord itself then, pain relief in any form in addition to pregabalin is appropriate and should be offered since the condition of spinal column cancerous lesions or tumors within the cord itself can produce some of the most excruciating cancer types of pain known in the field of oncology survival.

Pregabalin (Lyrica) has the very convenient property of not interacting with very much in the way of medication therefore, just about any type of analgesic medication can be given in conjunction to the Lyrica. If necessary implantable pumps that deliver either morphine sulfate, baclofen, or fentanyl can also be utilized while pregabalin is in use as well.

Other choices involve sublingual ketamine (potent anesthetic) for severe cancer pain of the bone that is refractory to other trials as well as boluses of LEVOBUPIVICAINE which is an anesthetic.

I hope these suggestions satisfactorily address your question and give some additional information you can discuss with your doctor for how to attack this problem. If so, may I ask your favor of a HIGH STAR RATING with some written feedback?
