What a trooper!

Lea Michele, known around the world now for her role in Glee, has been suffering through some rough routines as the rehearsals have left her with damaged back muscles.

Um, aren’t you only 23? Is this normal for someone so young? We don’t think so!

Rather than take it easy for awhile, Lea is forging ahead with the show, as she says the experience is worth dealing with the pain for. She explains:

“We all did this one dance number a couple of weeks ago that was extremely gruelling. Now I have back spasms every so often. I’ll be talking and be like, ‘Excuse me a minute,’ and my back will just spaz out. And then I’ll be fine. But we ignore it because we’re all just happy doing what we do. We don’t pay attention to our injuries.”

You’re going to pay for that later, bb! We think once the show goes on hiatus and before you go on tour, you should take some much needed rest. Let that back of yours enjoy a relaxing afternoon or seven.

And speaking of that Glee tour you and Cory Monteith mentioned a month ago and have not talked about since, keeping fans anxiously waiting for news while also finding a way to cope with the show not even being on the air – when is it????
