A stabbing pain is localised in one part of the back, like a stab wound. Hope that's helpful.
Hi!
Since touching the neck triggers the pain, a MRI of neck should be done. Nerve compression is a possibility. Tooth ache, low vitamin D, low vitamin B12, high blood pressure and sinusitis are the other possibilities. A comprehensive investigation is required keeping all the points in mind. Do discuss this with your doctor and get yourself examined. Take care!
