She followed up her tweets later in the day with an update on her treatment:

This season of Dancing With the Stars has been particularly significant with the amount of injuries the celebrities have suffered. Movie actor Billy Dee Williams had to withdraw from the competition during Week 3 due to a back injury. Actress Danica McKellar, who is still in the competition, suffered a broken rib during rehearsals on Friday, but she pushed through the pain and competed on Monday anyway.
It is still unclear if Purdy will have to withdraw from the competition.
Dancing With the Stars season 18 airs Mondays at 8 p.m. on ABC.
