Detailed Answer:
Dear Madam,
Thank you for posting your query on XXXXXXX
Well looking into your problem I would like to tell you that it can be a symptom of cervical spondylosis . It can be a manifestation of cervical osteophytes which compress upon nerves causing stabbing pain as you are mentioning .
I think you should consult a neurologist , get a cervical spine X XXXXXXX done to look for disease . Other possibilty can be migraine type of headache . You can try tramadol if your doctor recommends this for you. Exact cause can be determined by examination only .
Wish you good health.
Take care.
