Can vascular/artery compression cause those kind of pains?

Even slight inhibition of blood supply can cause the muscle it feeds to spasm or become hypertense due to lack of oxygen needed to form and consume its ATP. Once a muscle contracts, it can remain contracted (shortened) forever without using any more energy; it needs a shot of energy in order to relax again, and lengthen to its normal resting state.
