Re: Playing E-flat hurts...

Perhaps your Eb mouthpiece is exceptionally resistant and is causing you to tighten up your throat/oral cavity --- have you tried a few different mouthpieces? A good one (such as a Greg Smith or Clark Fobes) can make a world of difference in all aspects of your playing, especially on a problematic instrument like the eefer.

Embouchure-wise (and I say this not as an experienced Eb player, but as a doubler) it seems to me that there is little if any difference between playing Eb and playing standard Bb soprano.
