Hello and welcome to HCM,
Stabbing pain in lower back could be a neurogenic pain associated with nerves compression or nerve inflammation.
A complete assessment of spinal cord and spinal nerves emanating from the cord is required.
Compression and impingement of nerve can occur in stenosis of the neural foramina.
I suggest you to consult an orthopedician for clinical assessment, relevant investigations and thus management.
Thanks and take care
