Brief Answer:
it can be due to muscle weakness

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX
I have studied your case and I came to this conclusion that you are having this pain due to muscle weakness. As you said that it is dull aching pain. which is common when muscles are weak. I have following suggestions for you.
1. As you said that your spine x ray shows some disc space changes so I would recommend you to get MRI of the spine to see if there cos c herniation and nerve compression. Compression of nerves can make muscles weak and that can cause such pain.
2. Muscles weakness can be due to serum B 12 deficiency also, so I would recommend you to take Tablet Methylcobal daily. This tablet will make your muscles and nerve stronger.
3. I would also recommend you to take rich protein diet because muscles need lot of protein for good health. Take tablet carnisure one daily. Discuss about medications with your doctor.
4. Hot water fomentation is also helpful. This can be given through putting your both legs in water bucket filled with gentle warm water.
I would also recommend you to take a psychiatric opinion as some time depression can also contribute in such dull aching pain.
I hope this answer will be useful. Let me know if there is any other followup questions. I will try my best to help you.
Thanks
