Default Extra section break ruining x of y page numbering, but removing it ruins chapter formatting

I have a book with 20 chapters. At the end of chapter 10 there is a "next page" section break, and on the next page, on the first line of chapter 11 there is a "continuous" section break. The problem that results from this is that the second page of chapter 11 is getting labelled as a new section and this ruins the "x of y" page numbering in chapter 11. But if I remove either the "next page" section break or the "continuous" section break, the chapter heading for chapter 11 along with the text which follows it gets sucked up and placed on the last page of chapter 10. So it is putting me between a rock and a hard place. I need to remove the extra section break to fix the "x of y" page numbering, but if I remove the extra section break it ruins the chapter formatting.
