Kelly Ripa had a new look when she arrived on-stage for Thursday's episode of Live With Kelly And Michael.

The 44-year-old chat-show host wore a medical boot on her left foot and had to use crutches to walk out with co-host Michael Strahan, 43.

As it turned out, Kelly had broken her foot in an accident that occurred during her dance class on the previous day.

Injury: Kelly Ripa appeared on Live With Kelly And Michael on Thursday with a medical boot and crutches

'It sounded like bubble wrap,' Kelly said of the moment she stepped on a misplaced hand weight and broke four bones in her foot.

'Somebody either left it not on their mat or maybe kicked it when they were dancing,' she explained. 'All I know is I did a jump... and I landed on the weight. My foot went over and under the weight.'

Kelly is a fan of AKTinmotion, which offers dance classes with strength breaks.

After a trip to the hospital - complete with an X-ray and a CT scan - Kelly learned that she had multiple broken bones but did not require surgery.

Exercise mishap: On Wednesday, Kelly was at a dance class when she stepped on a weight and broke four bones in her foot

The morning host also learned that she had a calcaneonavicular coalition: 'It sounds like a war strategy and not really a medical problem,' Kelly joked of the condition that simply meant her bones were unusually close together.

Kelly's crutches will only be needed for a few days, but her doctor insisted that she would need at least six weeks with the boot.

Medical equipment: After a trip to the hospital, Kelly was given a boot to wear for six weeks and crutches to use for a few days

Suffering: Kelly insisted she was not in much pain but was mortified by the ugly boot

'I don't plan on being in this thing that long,' Kelly insisted. 'He's like six weeks - I give it three weeks.'

She also was not interested in a special shoe that was supposed to be worn on her other foot in order to balance out the boot.

'I'm not wearing that,' said Kelly. 'I think the boot is enough suffering!'

Spousal support: Mark Consuelos, Kelly's husband, took a great deal of pleasure filming his wife at the hospital

'We can bedazzle the other shoe,' offered Michael. 'I'll bedazzle it personally. Get my glue gun and some sparkles!'

Before moving on to other topics, Kelly shared a video shot by her husband, actor Mark Consuelos, 44, while she was in the hospital.

'He followed me around with the camera, he was never more alive,' Kelly said of the clip, which showed her in a wheelchair. 'He loved this moment of suffering.'

History: This was not Kelly's first injury - she fractured her hip in 2010 and hurt her neck in 2012

Natural help: Thanks to a cleanse, Kelly announced at the end of May that pain from previous injuries had lessened

This broken foot was not Kelly's first on-the-show injury - she suffered a stress fracture to her right hip in 2010 and injured her neck during a charity event in 2012.

Kelly dealt with the ongoing pain with the help of 'an antacid, high-alkaline cleanse' that had eased her chronic troubles by the end of May.

Fortunately, the new injury did not seem to be bothering Kelly greatly: 'It's very dramatic-looking, but I feel fine,' she insisted.
