You are better off going to your PCP. The ER is for emergencies, which this is not. Let the ER physicians and nurses deal with patients in dire need of care.

I would go through PCP. PCP could then examine you/ or refer to either ER, or Orthopedist. Also, I would like to see MRI taken. Personally, I don’t think that an X-ray would be adequate enough to make a complete evaluation/diagnosis.
