Hi..

The problem you had could be due to dehydration not allowing proper recovery of the muscles.. leading to stiffness of the muscles. This stiffness inturn reducing the Joint range disturbing the whole kinematic chain mechanism leading to various issues.
Since you reduced the intake of caffeine and increasing the fluid consumption helped your body to recover and reverse the whole issues...
And I agree artificial sweeteners are not good for your health when consumed in a large quantities...and should always be better to avoid and instead choose other healthy options..

Hope this is helpful for you..
Kindly revert back incase you need any further queries ...
