I have a pounding & crushing pain behind my head (neck). feels like it's a gland and it's very tender when i touch it. are lympnodes meant to pain?

If inflammed, yes: Lymph nodes can be painful, but it can be something else other than an inflammed lymph node, what you described requires medical attention in person, kindly see your doctor for assessment or go to urgent care or ER, good luck
