Evan Lysacek, gold medalist and Dancing with the Stars contestant, is dealing with several broken toes. Ouch! The judges keep reminding him that he needs work on his foot technique, especially pointing his toes, but that may be difficult when your toes are in extreme pain.Lysacek broke his fifth toes, also known as "piggy" toes during rehearsal for the quick step, a fast-paced and fast-footwork routine for this past week. What began as a dull ache turning into a throbbing pain. Lysacek has visited three doctors, including the doctor on staff for Dancing with the Stars, but nothing can be done. Doctors have taped the toes so they will properly heal and the gold medalist in men's figure skating is taking painkillers to alleviate the pain.
If you are suffering from a dance-related broken toe injury, you should first visit a podiatrist who can treat you accordingly. Dancers should stay off the affected foot(feet) and practice RICE (rest, ice, compression, and elevation) for the duration.
