LOS ANGELES, Calif. --

Dancing With the Stars” is taking quite a toll on this year’s celebrity contestants.

Earlier today, AccessHollywood.com broke the news that “Sex and The City” heartthrob Gilles Marini had suffered a separated shoulder, but planned to remain on the show.

And now, former “Jackass” wild man Steve-O has revealed to Access that his “Dancing” days could be numbered thanks to severe back pain.

“My back is not cool,” Steve-O told AccessHollywood.com’sDish of SaltLaura Saltman. “We had a physical therapist come work on me a little bit and she said everything is messed up.”

In fact, the pain is so bad, Steve-O isn’t sure he’ll be able to continue in the competition, alongside his professional partner Lacey Schwimmer.

“I’m not able to do the routine. I’m just walking through it at this point,” he added.

“Is it a possibility that this could bump you out of the competition?” Laura asked.

“Anything’s possible,” Steve-O admitted. “But I’m going to do everything in my power to make sure this salsa on Monday goes great!”

But the “Dancing” injuries don’t end there.

Laura met up with Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak on Thursday, where the computer wiz revealed he suffered a foot fracture two weeks ago that could also bring his “Dancing” days to an end.

“If the pain gets worse than before, I’m going to do the right thing,” Wozniak, who was wearing a boot for support on his left foot, noted.

Injuries have already forced two “Stars” out of the reality show, with Access’ Nancy O’Dell and singer Jewel withdrawing due to severe injuries prior to Monday’s season premiere.
