Ginger Zee has suffered a pelvic injury ahead of the "Dancing With The Stars" finale.

ABC News reports Zee has been diagnosed with sacral instability and a lumbar or lower back sprain.

The "Good Morning America" meteorologist tells ABC News that she continued to rehearse last week after suffering a lower back spasm. She says she later saw a physical therapist who told her that her "pelvis was just moving all over."

She says her pelvis is loose and unstable because she had a baby in December.

Zee told ABC news she was frustrated by the timing of her injury.

"I was crying not just from pain but I was more fearful and more frustrated because at this point in the competition every single minute counts," she explained, "especially for a non-dancer repetition is everything. It gives you confidence...and without the ability to do that, it's scary."

Zee also said that despite her injury, she plans to give it her all to win the Mirror Ball trophy.
