That's more sensible and I understand your predicament.
I would suggest that you call the doctor's office and ask to speak with the nurse. Sometimes, with painful acute problems, they can fit you in or call you in case of cancellation.
Also ask the nurse to suggest things you can do to help mitigate pain and swelling.
Best wishes.
The reason why is because I don't have a doctor yet. I just recently got health insurance, I have the closest possible appointment scheduled but it's months from now. I'm not solely relying on anything on here, I was just curious as to if anyone "could tell me possibly" their thoughts on it. Believe me, if I had a doctor, I would go to him/her immediately.
I don't know why you expect that anyone here can tell you why you have this injury. This would be a question more appropriate to put to your doctor.
