Agony of da' feet, Dancing with the Stars injuries

 

You can stop biting your nails. The winner has been chosen on Dancing with the Stars. I wasn’t biting my nails over who might win; I was biting my nails out of fear of more dancer injuries. ‘Agony of Da’Feet’ I call it. I full out cringe when they show rehearsal clips of people in pain. As a healthcare professional I am against the ‘tape’em up and send’em back in’ mentality. Pain is a message from your body that something is wrong and to stop doing whatever it is that is causing it. But what do we do? Pop a painkiller and jump back in(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pain). The last thing Steve Wozniak should have been doing with a pulled hamstring was dancing. Melissa with a cracked rib must have been on major painkillers do finish these last couple of weeks. I suspect the reports of the injuries may be exaggerated for excitements sake. Your line here is: Ya’ Think?! Note to Holly and her ‘inflamed ribs’: Whenever you have large foreign objects in your body and you jump around so that they rub against your ribs like rocks on a washboard, you’re gonna have inflammation.
