For sure: Why would you want to walk around with pain....A podiatrist will x-ray your foot and ankle and help you with both problems....

YES: Yes, an x-ray for the toe, and maybe an x-ray for the ankle, with appropriate treatment. Many people do not take ankle sprains seriously enough, and some never get better. Sincerely, Dr. Latva

Do you feel lucky...: I would venture to say that over the millennia, countless people have broken their little toes and twisted their ankles. The vast majority of them never sought medical help for their injuries, simply because there were no physicians, x-rays and the like. But that was then and this is now. You decide.
