Physical therapist or orthopedist?

Should I visit a physical therapist or orthopedist?

For context, I have sprained my right ankle 2 times and left ankle 1 time in a span of almost a year. The pain and tightness from the ankle area is still there until now in both left and right foot. It has been unstable since then and I even sprain it even when I'm only walking. I have tried physical therapy exercises from YouTube and my ankle mobility improved a bit but the pain and tightness doesn't seem to reduce. Should I go to an physical therapist or an orthopedist for my situation?

Should I go to an physical therapist or an orthopedist first for my situation?
