A 45 lb dog landed elbow first on my barefoot pinky toe. How do I know if it's broken? It's been 24 hours, I can't walk on it without pain, it hurts to put on a shoe unless I have thick socks, it's visibly swollen and getting darker purple, and I've iced it and elevated it as much as possible. The pain feels as though the dog is still on my toe, like it's being crushed, and it was a burning searing pain yesterday. What should I do?

I am experiencing a stabbing pain in my calcaneus (heel). When did the pain start? Is it localized in a particular part of your body? Is the pain constant or does it come and go? Are you managing it with any medications? What are all the medications you're currently using, either for the pain or anything else? How old are you? Anything else in your medical history you think the Doctor should know?

I'm 23 years old and think I'm suffering from erectile dysfunction (ED) due to years of prone masturbation. I've tried Viagra and other methods, but they don't work consistently. I've noticed that not masturbating for a few days improves the situation. What could be causing my ED and what treatments or tests should I consider?
