Every medicine has some or other side effect. It depends on what benefit you obtain vis a vis the side effects. Pregabalin is regularly prescribed in lumbar canal stenosis and had a good track record. Oxcarbamezepine is infrequently used, in comparison in lumbar canal stenosis cases.

Hello dear Lybrate user,
Warm welcome to Lybrate.com
I have evaluated your query thoroughly.* This is not in relation with spinal anesthesia, but it is due to
age related changes over the vertebrae which may be spondylosis
or others. Hope this clears your query. Wishing you fine recovery. Welcome for any further assistance. Regards take care.
