Hi,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
I had gone through your question. The something stuck on back of tongue feeling could be due to an enlarged tonsils or enlarged lingual tonsils that is tonsil like tissue in tongue.
The pimple like things your feeling in the back your tongue are called papilla. They are normal and nothing to worry about that.
I recommend the following.

1) Take analgesics for relief
2) Consult an ENT surgeon and get a check. Because there are any causes for something sticking feeling in throat. This can be ruled out on examination.

Hope i have answered your question. If you have any further questions you can write to me on Healthcare magic.
Wish you a good health.

Regards,
Dr. Paparaja S.
