I had similar experience. I played D1 college soccer many moons ago ('86-'87). After my eligibility was done (summer of '88) I got invited to work out with an MISL development team (Indoor soccer). It was my first time playing exclusively on turf. I got a really bad turf toe trying to make a full speed cut.
Not only was I done for that season, I was limited in my training for the next 18 months or so. As you noted, even after the pain is gone, I still felt "pressure" from my big toe joint for several years afterwards.
But if you had to suit up and play today, could you go?
That’s the real question.
