Leann Rimes' Labor Day holiday was marred by a trip to a doctor's office after she fell ill with a virus in her ear.

The Blue singer had hoped to be enjoying the holiday on Monday (02Sep13) relaxing with her family, but instead she had to visit her doctor for an injection when the pain in her inner ear became too much to bear.

Rimes took to her Twitter.com page to complain about her symptoms, telling followers the throbbing was so bad, it was making her vision blurry.

She also tweeted, "You know you're sick when you end up in the doctors office on Labor Day asking for a shot. I hate shots... I have a virus in my ear... This chick needs a couch & a blanket stat!"
