Hi- I had mono back in March. I play soccer so I started working out about a month after being diagnosed (just doing little jogs every now and then) but I couldn't play because my spleen was still enlarged. This summer I have been training for preseason and the running/conditioning has been really intense. I was feeling healthy but the weird thing is that recently my abdominal pain is back. I get these sharp pains where my spleen and liver are after I workout or even sometimes after eating. I get them when I am going to sleep as well, if I lay on my side. It's really strange. I don't know if these are still symptoms from mono, or they could be something else?! Can symptoms really last for 6 months?

Mono symptoms can last for a very long time. I had an active case of mono from November to May, and even now, I still have the same old symptoms. I would go back to your doctor to see if you still have an active case, and then discuss the posibility of other illnesses such as chronic fatigue syndrome.
