Hi,
Welcome to Healthcare Magic,
From the list of medications you were using, it is confirmed that Etoricoxib causing this.

Etoricoxib is a NSAID pain killer. As you are aware of this pain killers have side effects on kidney and that leads to swelling of your limbs and face.

My suggestion is avoid pain killer until otherwise you face severe pain.Alternately you can switch to safe pain killers like Paracetamol 650 which is safe on your kidneys.
