Hello. Low on cash and wondering how long I should wait before seeking further professional help: Early October – bad ankle sprain with severe swelling but no discoloration, ankle rolled out with audible and felt pop Late October – during physical therapy felt another pop and swelling finally went away completely Mid November – after weeks of physical therapy, compression, and ice it was almost back to normal but had to be careful on uneven ground because of continued instability January – began to notice that I would have lower leg pain on the back/right side of my calf with weather changes (pain feels deep and is a sharp burning pain) Present – no swelling or ankle pain and stability is nearly normal but the pain in my lower leg is almost daily now (sometimes at the end of the day, sometimes first thing in the morning, and sometimes all day), the pain has changed as well, sometimes a dull ache and sometimes the usual sharp burning. I’ve also been experience occasional tingling in the little toe and the toe next to it since the initial ankle sprain

Should I seek a specialist or wait it out?
