Paralympic snowboarder Amy Purdy injured herself on Monday's Dancing With the Stars.

But it sounds like she's on the mend already.

On the show, she explained to co-host Erin Andrews after her individual dance —a sexy and elegant rumba with pro Derek Hough, "My shoulder's been bothering me a little bit, and then right after judging I turned my head and my back cracked and it just seized up and everything's painful right now," said Amy. "It's hard to breathe."

She was unable to participate in the team dance, and Andrews said she was heading to the hospital to get the injury checked out.

A couple of hours later, Purdy tweeted: "I'm doing okay, thanks for your support everyone! The DR thinks it's muscular, still waiting on the official word."

And when asked by one fan if she'll be able to dance next week, she replied: "If I have anything 2 do w/ it, yes!"
