Suggest Treatment For Enlarged Spleen

I have been diagnosed with very enlarged spleen with veins that are also enlarged. I have crossbow from long term med use. Have adhesions in abdominal. Hernia, fibromyalgia, osteoporosis, left hip replacement. Have not had a bowel movement since before thanksgiving. I was hospitalized twice when I was able to get relief when forced by two days of barium. Had endoscope done, and doc says he wanted to take biopsy, but because of the veins he felt I could bleed out. Put me on Amarillo 10 mg twice a day. Pain is spreading, haven't had a meal since thanksgiving. All clear liquids for 7 days now. He says to take the meds and maybe he can do biopsy in 3 months. Don't know what to do.
