i had mono about 2 years ago and even since then my glands in the left side only have never really gone back to normal.....sometimes when the weather changes rapidly or i get wind or water in my ear i have pain in my neck from the glands, is this normal, does anyone else have really sensitive ears and neck glands?

Mono never completely leaves your system. But you should ask your doctor to check you out. You could have an infection that isn't getting treated by your body alone.

general info...
Much pain is from muscles below is an example of what may help (based on headaches).
Begin with a couple swigs of molasses or a couple of bananas daily - magnesium (which regulates many things in the body) and potassium (a needed building block for muscles).
Drink at least 1/2 gallons of water per day. Running a body low on water is like running a car low on oil is the analogy the head of neurology at UCDavis told my husband about 10 years ago.
Now to the cause - muscles - your back, neck shoulders and head have tender spots. They are knots in the fibers of the muscles called trigger points. It makes the muscles tight which makes them press on nerves and other things causing the pain.
The cure - start with a professional massage, you will also want to go back over any place you can get to 6-12 times per session up to 6 times per day rubbing (or lightly scratching on your head) every where that is tender until the knots go away. The place where the skull connects to the spine press up under the edge of the skull (to get to those muscles).
For more information read The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook by Davies. It teaches what to do and where the pain comes from.

Swollen glands is not normal. Water or air produce pain in many people, hence take precaution to avoid them. Acupuncture treats all pains.
