I think my ankle is sprained. i feel a burning sensation and the pain isnt going away. its a constant pain. should i have an x-ray done? if so where?

Ankle pain: Was there trauma? History of systemic disease?: Diabetes, RA, HBP, genetic disorder. Pain awaken from sleep? Swelling, radiating pain/numbness/tingling? Pinpoint tenderness? The possibility of a gouty flare is possible requiring blood tests, or local aspiration. X-ray of the lower leg, ANKLE, and foot will reveal bony pathology, and a complete/thorough exam may be in order. See your doc-
