"Dancing with the Stars pro Derek Hough has vowed to keep going despite his neck injury. Hough was forced to pull out of this week&amp;#039;s performance with his partner Shawn Johnson after receiving medical advice and was replaced by Mark Ballas.  However, he claimed on the show that he will be back next week and told Us Weekly that he&amp;#039;s hoping he will be &amp;quot;fine to dance&amp;quot;. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s discomfort,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;The pain will be up and down. I had a proper diagnosis this morning and I am going to have to have surgery on it eventually. The bone is just rubbing on the nerve. &amp;quot;But, you know, I&amp;#039;m not going to do any more damage to it and I&amp;#039;m going to keep going and keep going strong.&amp;quot; Hough also joked that he has bonded with Johnson because they are both in pain, as the knee injury which prevented her from competing in the Olympics was aggravated in rehearsals a couple of weeks ago. &amp;quot;We have icing parties!&amp;quot; he quipped. &amp;quot;She ices her knee while I ice my neck.&amp;quot; Johnson - who picked up a perfect score of 30 out of 30 for her fusion of the tango and the paso doble this week - has admitted that working with both Hough and Ballas was &amp;quot;a lot to handle&amp;quot;. Dancing with the Stars continues on Monday on ABC. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
