That's too long: go somewhere that will take you sooner to properly bandage and splint it

Too long: While Concentra set you up an appointment with “their doc” you do not have to wait that long and you should not. Surgical treatment, if necessary, is best done earlier as is immobilization with a cast or boot. I’d find a foot and ankle surgeon in your area and see them expeditiously
