A member asked:

I have a 10 cm cyst on my spleen. besides extra strength tylenol, (acetaminophen) what can help with the sharp pains below my left rib cage?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

That's large: Depends on the severity of pain. Since its causing pain itinary be treated surgically. Meanwhile you can try tramadol, Nucynta (tapentadol) or oxycodone temporarily.You must see a surgeon, they may help you by surgical means.
