Len,
It concerns me a lot that this isn't improving. Small fractures can be missed on a cursory X-ray read. (Happens ALL the time). Torn ligaments could be a real problem.
When does the doc you like get back? You need a second opinion. Ask some questions. Why isn't it improving? Would you mind giving the X-ray another look for me? What's the plan if this doesn't get better?
The sports doc an hour away may be a good bet.
Answers to questions;
It's never rude to ask for copies of your records. Expect to pay for them. (Not too much.)
About your recovery time. If it's a complete ligament tear it's possible it could never heal properly without surgery. Small bone fractures can take about 2-3 months. Until you get a REAL diagnosis, I wouldn't speculate too much about your recovery.
