Honestly, i never knew what it was till i got it. From what i understand many athletes get it from the turf, but other surfaces as well, due to low sprinting/pushing etc..Football players prone to it.
anyway been playing alot of raquetball for the last 8 months and after taking many years off of playing. Over the first three months of getting back into it, i pulled both calf muscles. one so bad i bled internally and the blood flowed to my ankle so that swelled as well. Month 5, as i was playing i lunged for the ball which was riding right along the side walll. i lunged straight into the wall and when i landed my foot got wedged in between the wall and floor. My full body wieght pushed on that foot and as my toes bent from the wedge, i heard this POP. I stopped playing immediately as i knew something was wrong. Well before i knew it, i could not walk on that foot. I hyperextended the toe so bad that i tore tendons and blodd vessels. My whole foot swelled purple due to the internal bleeding and i could not walk on it. Very painful. Kid you not, it has now been 3 months and i still have discomfort. Doc says 6 months to heel.
anyone get turf toe before?
