You had an injury doing a risky activity by your own choice.

Perhaps the first visit xrays showed normal findings as the bone had not separated yet. That said U/C's do often call everything a "sprain" at first from my experience. Doing MRI's and expensive imaging on every guy who walked in w/ an ankle sprain for palliative care is not practical.

Did you followup with your PCP thereafter for a real evaluation? Urgent care sort of doesn't count as a real evaluation IMO, that's basically just an emergency/get me out of pain until I can get to a real doctor sort of place to go.

What was the time interval between the time you saw your PCP and when you saw the specialist/orthopedic?

Life is risky, things happen, it was YOUR injury not the doctor's. Ask yourself are you looking to blame someone who was trying to help you for the result of YOUR injury vs taking ownership?

The human body is imperfect and in many instances has a limited capacity to repair itself even with the best healthcare/surgery.

Getting old sucks.
