a similar pattern occured in my legs from hip to knee through calf to foot.
in my case it was worse on the left side.
reduced my blood pressure and the pain was gone .
increased blood pressure and pain returned.
did this over a period of two weeks.

Patrick, I like reading medical books, websites, magazines, etc. -- yeah, weird, I know -- anyway, your symptoms (pain around veins/arteries) reminded me of something I had read -- vasculitis. Of course, reading and applying are two TOTALLY different things and a I am NOT a doc or even IN medicine, but...........vasculitis could mean that you have something ELSE going on like RA or Lupus. That might explain some of your other symptoms. Autoimmunes tend to run "in packs". Few of us have only ONE.
