Jewel Injured In DWTS

 

Dancing With The Stars hasn’t even premiered yet and there’s already an injury.

Jewel, who is competing in this season’s DWTS along with her cowboy hubby Ty Murray, might not be able to do some of the required fancy footwork due to tendinitis in her knees.

On Wednesday she wrote on her blog:

“Yuck! It’s mainly my left knee, and I can’t believe I hurt it so badly. Ty warned me I was over doing it, and now he got a big ol’ ‘I told you so’ in.”

“It was just so fun to dance 8 hours a day—especially considering I only had 3 weeks to cram not only for my first dance—cha cha, but to learn the fundamentals of about 6 other dances that I will have to know,” Jewel wrote.

“But now I’m just worried I won’t even be able to dance! Hopefully these steroids will really do the trick and I can keep bad flare ups at a bay in the future.”

She was also ordered to stop rehearsals for a couple of days.

“I have my first rehab appointment today, so I will see what that’s like. Hopefully it helps the pain. Ty said ‘Slow and steady will win the race…’ sage advice, but my Russian partner and I have the same work ethic and our motto has been “ATTACK!!”

The hit ABC series premieres March 9.
