Hello,
Pain and dull sensation in the legs, arms and joints are commonly due to neurological, musculoskeletal or vascular issues. Joint pains are usually due to RA, OA or gout. However, tumors, bone fractures, bone spurs, herniated discs, osteoporosis, etc can also cause pain and discomfort. You are suggested to take food rich in magnesium, calcium and vitamin D and K. Stay in the exposure of sun rays for at least half an hour.
Keep yourself active, walk regularly, do stretch exercises. Avoid addictions if any. You should get clinically examined by an orthopedics, get blood tests, urinalysis and imaging tests (X-ray, CT, MRI, etc) to detect the pathology causing you discomfort so that treatment can be started at the earliest. In the meantime, you are suggested to give rest to your legs, massage it with a pain relieving ointment or apply pain relieving spray(Volini). You can take Combiflam or Naproxen, one SOS to ease pain. Take food rich in vitamin B6, B12 or supplements to enrich your nerves.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
