Hi There
I've read your question and understanding your concern.
I want to tell you Blockage in arteries can give you dull and shooting Pain. Pain at a particular place can also be because of muscular or bony pain. If the Pain don't increase or decrease during running then it can not be because of Carotid Artery.
It is advisable to get a Carotid Artery colur Doppler done to confirm if any blood circulation is impaired. And if it comes normal then personally see a orthopeditian .
Hopefully I answered all your Quaries
Good Luck
