Having pain on my left foot below the big toe (more when I stretch back my big toe). Doesn't look like bunion. Should I see an ortho specialist soon?

Recently I have foot problems, GP said it could be planter, however a scan showed something called calcifications. I asked the GP to refer me to a specialist , but he said it does not appear to be that serious. My foot is bothering me more and more.
