Question 2

my left big toe has been hurting me for 8 months now. it has gotten worse. at first it was just a burning sensation in the toe, but now hurts so bad.?

You should see : A podiatrist. 8 months is way too long to go in pain and apparently, it will not get better on its own. A podiatrist will perform a history and physical and possibly take x-rays. The problem may even lie in your back and not even be coming from your toe but you did not supply enough information to make any real differential diagnosis.
