[TEX]

Deal is there are many things that go under the turf toe umbrella, so it's treated differently... Mine also involved a tear in the plantar plate, located at the ball joint right before my big toe. When it's there, your whole toe hurts pretty much all the time. Happens when your foot is planted and you go another way. I had the same operation 10 years ago. Took about 3.5 months to fully heal. Toe feels great now. No soreness ever, or loss of motion. It's like night and day better than how it felt before the surgery. For those that have ever dealt with this kind of turf toe, the pain can be excruciating. I honestly don't know how he managed to play on it.
