Turf Toe
Symptoms of Turf Toe
People with turf toe usually have sudden pain in the joint at the base of their big toe. The joint may become swollen. As with any soft tissue sprain, the severity of turf toe can be mild, moderate, or severe. A mild sprain typically causes swelling and pain when the joint is moved and lasts for only a week or two. A moderate sprain causes pain and swelling in the big toe that lasts more than a couple of weeks. The most severe sprains involve complete rupture of ligaments on the sole of the foot. Severe sprains are rare, but the symptoms last for more than several weeks, and the person continues to have difficulty moving the big toe.
