Hello dear,I understand your concern.Iam very sorry for your condition.In my opinion in pregnancy a few people experience some types of non specific muscular pains.Also it might be due to gastritis.They subside spontaneously either before or after delivery.Try hot fomentation and adequate rest.Avoid physical strain.Sit erectly with back support while sitting.Take panadol for pain.Avoid spicy and oily diet.And take antacids.Dont worry.This type of complaints are commonly seen in pregnancy.But regarding the swelling get examined by the doctor.
Best regards...Dr.Srilatha
