Not affecting feet?: So you do not have any foot symptoms. I was thinking gout initially, but that would most likely affect your great toes. In the ten years you have had these symptoms, have you seen a doctor for this?

Varies: There are multiple potential causes. Gout is one example of a condition that is typically worsened with a high protein diet. A good medical checkup would be as good place to start.
