A member asked:

Can sronyx cause cramping a mild back pain? i just started it for two days. also started amitiza (lubiprostone) and librax on 4/16 and 2xs a day.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Neurological symptoms like numbness and extremity weakness tend to predominate over pain. Post traumatic syringomyelia can present with pain from a herniated disc or a fracture deformity that caused the syrinx but a de novo syrinx is usually not painful. Make sue you get a contrast MRI to rule out spinal cord tumor.
