Kristin Chenoweth at 'Tinker Bell' DVD and Blu-ray premiere held at the Capitan Theater, Los Angeles, CA - 19.10.08

The West Wing star had just recovered from the broken ribs she suffered when she fell down the stairs earlier this year when she slipped during a stunt on the set of a new project.

Chenoweth, 40, says, "I fell down the stairs and broke my ribs. I taped myself up and carried on working. Then, last week (begs13Oct08), we were doing a stunt, hanging upside down and it jabbed by rib up into my shoulder. It's now sticking out."

But instead of heading to hospital to have herself patched up, the star insists on self-medicating. She adds, "I have a bad neck also. I have this traction thing for my neck. I put my head in it and pump it up and it takes the pressure off. Maybe I can get one for my back."
