I did not read all of what was written, but I have a sensitivity to aspartame (art. sweeetener).  You'd be amazed at what  all it is in.  I also know that there is a yeast/fungal/sugar correlation.  yeast caused swelling, yeast is a fungus and sugar feeds fungus.  I love using (I am a brand snob)  Oregenol.  Oregeno oil has been shown to be as effective as morphine in pain relief.  it reduces swelling and is non narcotic or habit forming.  Good luck iin your search.
