usually the doctor's will take a few xrays
before deciding on anything. If the xrays
show nothing than no, they will probably tell you to ice than heat and keep repeating it until the uncomfortable feeling goes away. But if the xrays
show concerning results they will most likely send you to a orthopedic (bone doctor). Hope this helps!
