See profile/health info pic. back of neck where shoulder & neck meet is more prominent & firm than other side. no lumps - could it b swollen lymph nod?

Could be: Could be swollen lymph node, more likely muscle spasm. Try acetominophen or Ibuprofen heat, massage, stretching. See md if persists more than 102 weeks or if worsening.

May be neck muscle: If it is really behind the neck, it isn't likely to be a gland. The glands are mainly on the front side of the neck. One of the larger back of the neck muscles may be larger than the other side, or may be swollen from being over used. This muscle is called the trapezius, if you want to look it up and confirm that is where the swelling is at.
