“What doctor should I see for ankle pain?”
I am a 19 year old female who twisted her ankle during lacrosse. What doctor should I see for ankle pain?

Ideally you should see either a sports medicine trained doctor (surgeon or non-surgeon), or a orthopedic foot and ankle surgeon.
Here is the rule I teach everyone:
Start with your primary care doc, but if the pain is not mostly better by 10 or 14 days, then seek out an Orthopedic Surgeon or an orthopedic nurse practitioner
