I think I sprained my big toe. I'm a diabetic and take 2000 mg of metformin, 30 units of fast-acting insulin, and 50 units of slow-acting insulin daily. My blood pressure is good, I have high cholesterol (I take Lovenstatin), I'm allergic to wasps and bees, and I'm currently on Chantix and Zoloft. What should I do for my sprained toe?

I have a question about treating varicoceles in the testicles. My symptoms include swollen testicular veins, and I've only used ibuprofen and Tylenol. I've seen a doctor about the swelling, but the doctor is on vacation and today the swelling is worse than usual. I also have a history of neck surgery. What can I do for the severe pain I'm experiencing?
