I keep getting swollen glands in my neck and back - it hurts when they first swell up then they are painless. I have been feeling quite tired when they swell and have had the occasional fever. Any medical professionals with any ideas as I hate going to the docs!! ( been happening for approx 7 months)

You need to have this checked!!! What they will do is a Cat Scan just to make sure you don't have anything major going on. Lots of times your lymph nodes will swell up due to a cold or illness. But with this going on for 7 months, and there being some pain involved. Get them checked!!!

If it happens regularly, particularly if you're tired, you could have glandular fever. You must get this checked out. Ask the doctor for the mono-spot blood test. GF will get better of its own accord but only if you take good care of yourself and get ridiculous amounts of sleep.
Get well soon!
