Murgatroyd first thought it was a sore muscle and scheduled to have the area massaged, but soon discovered, \"I had three ribs that had pulled out,\" which required therapy.

\"I was in a lot of pain,\" the professional dancer continued, noting that her neck was the sorest of all. \"I think it's because [my ribs] pulled out from this [top right] side and the pain went up through my neck. It was strange, I know.\"

\"I don't know how it happened, it just happened,\" Murgatroyd remarked, adding that she's now \"totally fine.\"

Unfortunately, she and Davis were sent home on Monday, but the dancer says she will always cherish her partnership with the Super Bowl MVP.

\"We have a nice bond that was formed and I truly hope we can carry it over into our lives forever,\" she smiled. \"It has been a pleasure getting to know him.\"

\"Dancing with the Stars\" airs Monday at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.
