Sprained" my big toe 2 months ago in soccer, and it instantly turned black and blue. toe is still swollen and painful in spots. is this normal?

Not normal: Bruising may be from a break in the bone or a torn joint capsule of the great toe. Have it at least x-rayed. An MRI may be required. Ice, rest anti -inflammatories until those studies are completed

Turf toe: Very common to injure great toe in soccer or football. You need to give the area extra support by tapping it or using an ace wrap . Ice after playing , use iNsaids . Avoid going without shoes. It may not resolve until 6-8 weeks after your soccer season is complete.

No: No, not normal. Certainly consistent with a number of potential injuries to the toe. If you are still having trouble with it, I would consider being seen for an accurate diagnosis and treatment recommendations.
