cannot point toes

I have recently developed sharp ankle pain (maybe anterior tibial tendon?) with an associated redness on the inside of my left ankle.
I cannot point my toes but can raise my foot about half the degree to which I can raise my right foot.
It is quite painful to put shoes on and to tie my shoes.
I suppose my main question is whether I should go to a podiatrist or to an orthopaedist.
I need quick resolution so that I can get back to my aerobic workouts!
Thanks!

    I would say go to whoever you can see sooner.
