Are Pain In The Toe Bone And Difficulty In Walking Symptoms Of Turf Toe?
Hello there My name is Damien and I am a very active person I do a lot of athletics, basketball and football however sometimes when I play football and just after I hit the ball with quite a bit if power I begin to feel pain near the area where the bone of a toe is.the pain is often so strong that I can barely walk but last for short period of time but still hurts a bit for the rest of the day I ve done research about it today because my football couch told me to and I found something called turf toe which has mostly the symptoms I have and occurs in the same area so I m not quite sure whether I should get checked out at local doctor or is it something that will cure by itself?

Hello,
Symptoms sounds of turf toe. Taking an X-ray is better or maybe an MRI is most appreciated.
Taping the toe can be useful to avoid injuries. Use taping every now and then on a continuous pattern except sleeping so the healing occurs and the pressure applied to the ligament is less.
Do try some foot exercises.
Like picking the marbles with toes with taping on. Also, do balance board training so it helps correct the muscle imbalances and improve muscle strength.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
