Needs Full Work-up: This could be simple osteoarthritis, especially if you had an injury. Or rheumatoid arthritis. Or a nonunion fracture. Or poor circulation. Even renal failure. Please have a evaluation with x-rays and exam.

Need more info: So this sounds bad-- do you have diabetes? You really should seek treatment...Smelling could be infection or just athlete's foot but athlete's foot does not cause swelling. Need x-rays and a visit to the doc...Sorry to kick the can.

Get it diagnosed: Some causes of pain and swelling of foot can include systemic problems such as hypertension, gout, and problems with the kidneys and localized issues such as arthritis, infection, lymphatic obstruction, blood clots, varicose veins, trauma (fracture, sprain, and tendonitis) and side effects to medication. Have it evaluated by a professional and get the appropriate treatment.
