My Right Ankle Started Hurting A Couple Of Weeks. I

My right ankle started hurting a couple of weeks. I thought maybe I had bumped it on something or sprained it, but I wasn't sure. I started wearing an ankle brace, and it hasn't improved. Today, I started feeling a tingling in my foot and calf - the kind of tingling you get when your foot falls asleep and is "waking up". I can't get an appointment with my primary care physician until 6 days from now, and my orthopedist is booked up until July. Is it okay to wait and see a doctor in 6 days, or do I need to go to an immediate care center and have it x-rayed?
