Answer

A monkey on your back is anything at all that you find to be a constant burden. You have to finish your BA degree for advancement at work, you are married and have a small child. Having to get that degree is "a monkey on your back". It usually doesn't refer to actual physical burdens.

Also refers to having a drug addiction.
