Looks like leg get bigger but not because of lymph problem at this time.

Hello.
Thanks for your query.
Pain of undefined nature, variety & type, mild in intensity, in a young person of age 26 years, in only one limb suggest more of a local cause than general pathology. Lymphoedema and venous thrombosis have to be ruled out.
Factor V Leyden is a hypercoagulability disorder of blood due factor V. Though it is associated with hypercoagulability state, your description are less likely to be due to hypercoagulability or blood clot. Venous thrombosis usually would cause pain along with swelling that is generally progressive in nature. Perhaps a physical examination and tests - blood test as well as doppler studies will rule the aforementioned conditions.
If the signs & symptoms are progressing, swelling & pain increasing, then I encourage you to visit the Emergency Room as early as possible.
Strange XXXXXXX mucus smell doesn`t appear to related to it.
In the current instance I suggest vigilance towards sign & symptoms & their progression of the condition. Immediate attention is more essential if the symptoms are progressive in nature.
