I know I'm really not that big compared to most people here and I'm pretty young to develop back pain, but I've begun feeling stabbing pains all over my back sometimes. Did anyone else feel this after they hit the 250s?

You probably have a weak core. Of course, it never hurts to see a doctor, but the fatter you get, the more strain it puts on your body. This is why weight training as you gain is so important.
At times after gaining some weight I get a sore back for a period till it strength increases. As you belly gets bigger your centre of gravity moves forward and down so that naturally puts more load on the muscles along the back that answers that load. If you get pain radiating to the hip or legs get a back scan with your gp.
