Ankle pain: Please consider seeing your provider for an evaluation and a possible repeat X-ray of the ankle and/or possibly a bone scan to help detect fractures that are difficult to see on a plain X-ray

Go to your primary: doctor or your orthopedic doctor (if you already have one) for further imaging. A CT or MRI would be helpful at this time.
