I experienced skipped heartbeats after heavy drinking and am now very anxious about potential permanent damage to my heart. Will I be okay, and what can I do to prevent this in the future?

I recently had a neuroendocrine tumor/insulinoma removed, which required a distal pancreatectomy, removing 20% of the pancreas. I am curious to know when my pancreatic function will start to normalize following the surgery and what to expect relative to BG readings and function. I went from being hypoglycemic to now worrying about being too high. What can I expect in terms of recovery and blood sugar control, and what tests or monitoring should I consider?

I stepped awkwardly into an unseen hole and semi-rolled my ankle, feeling pain on the top middle outside of my foot. The pain is a constant 3 out of 10 and is dull unless I step wrong, then it becomes sharp. There is no external injury, but there is swelling just below the ankle on the outside of the foot. Should I see an orthopedic doctor?

Hello, I'm Marcus. My fiancée, Toya, referred me to this site as you helped her before. I'm a small-framed guy, 6'4" and about 165 lbs, while she's 5'5" and 170 lbs. During intercourse, she pushed back hard as I was coming forward, which caused a significant impact. It was very painful initially, but now it's not hurting, though I can no longer achieve a full erection. What could be the issue, and should I be concerned?
