I’ve had backpain for the last 3-4 years. It gets worse at times when I tweak it. It gets bad enough that I can’t even walk some days. I had an xray two years ago that said nothing was wrong.

I got a bad cold 3 months ago and my doctor said I had Mono. I’ve stopped coughing and all and feel better but I’ve had these pretty big swollen glands on my neck ever since. Should I get them checked out?

Infectious mononucleosis often causes bilateral lymphadenopathy (swollen lymph nodes) and usually improves within 4 weeks of symptom resolution. Any lymph node that does not resolve is considered abnormal and should be biopsied by a surgeon as they could be a sign of lymphoma.
