Could Jewel’s replacement soon find herself sitting on the sidelines?

Although she was relieved to see Denise Richards go home last Tuesday, Holly Madison might have been spared some pain had she been eliminated instead. Yesterday, Holly became the latest Dancing with the Stars contestant to chalk up some medical bills.

An injury she suffered last week while practicing the samba grew more painful when she started learning the tango. Fortunately, an evaluation determined the pain in her side was not as serious as feared. “We went to the doctor yesterday; I just have some inflamed muscles around my ribs, so it hurts, but I’m a lot more confident now I know it’s nothing serious,” Madison told E! News.

The reality star’s rep, Steve Flynn, said Madison continues “to feel a great deal of discomfort and was prescribed pain medication.” “She is committed to the show and her partner, Dmitry [Chaplin], and will rest when she can. She fully hopes and, at this time, expects to dance on Monday,” Flynn added.
