Also, has anyone experienced an enlarged spleen due to this? Normal is <12cm, mine is 14.3cm. Still waiting to talk to a neurologist, very anxious.

I am taking Ultram for the syringo pain. I was taking 12 a day but I've gotten myself down to 6 and mixing that with naproxen or excedrin seems to do a pretty good job. You should also look into getting a TENS unit. Its does the same thing that pain meds do but instead of chemically blocking the pain, it does it electrically. I hope this helps!!
