The characteristics that you provide strongly suggest a skeletal origin. That is even more likely if you can point to where it hurts with your finger. The blood pressure response to stress is normal. You have had testing to exclude life threatening disease. I would counsel nothing further and watchful waiting. A trial of anti inflammatory pain medicine like ibuprofen may help the discomfort and the response will help your doctor with the origin if symptoms don't resolve.
