ottohill,

Wow....slow down.

1) WOULD BE COULD ATHERSCLEROSIS OR CALCIFICATION CAUSE THE LEFT SIDE OF MY BODY FROM NECK TO TOES FEEL INFLAMED ON THE INSIDE AND CAUSE THIS PAIN

No. The beginnings of atherosclerosis can be found in younger people, however, your symptoms sound more systemic in nature and the changes seen on the CT shouldnt really cause the symptoms you are describing. Also and unfortunately they are very non specific. It sounds like you've had a thorough looking over. If you need further reassurace, my adivice would be to seek a second opinion from an Internal Medicine specialist that would be able to review all of your prior evaluation.
