Lance Bass is totally ready to go Dancing with the Stars.

He may need some ice for his feet first, however.

“I’m wearing heels!” Bass told People Magazine earlier this week. “It’s not that fun. My feet are swollen sausages every day!”

Painfully, that's not all: At 29, Bass is also feeling his age after four weeks of countless hours spent preparing for Monday night’s premiere.

“It doesn’t feel the same at all,” Bass said, who is partnered with a new ballroom pro, So You Think You Can Dance alum Lacey Schwimmer. “The first thing you notice is your knees, then your lower back goes out, your arms start hurting–and the feet!”
