Q: Ballet comes with a variety of positions for your feet, broken down into five different categories. If you're interested in doing a ballet inspired routine, familiarize yourself with the different foot positions. Each position involves rotating the legs at a 90-degree angle from the hip joint. First position: stand with your legs together and your toes pointed away from your body. Try to form a straight line with your feet. Second position: start with first position, then spread your legs apart slightly, keeping your toes pointed outward. Fourth position: stand with your legs together and feet crossed. Point your toes inward, so that they face each other. Fifth position: start with fourth position, then push your feet slightly closer together. Just as there are different positions for your legs in ballet, there are also different positions for your feet. Spend some time practicing the different placements of your arms if you're interested in doing a ballet routine. First position: bend your arms slightly at the elbow and hold them out in front of your body. Second position: stretch your arms out on either side of your body. Fourth position: keep 1 arm over your head. Bend the other arm inward, as you did in first position. Fifth position: raise both your arms over your head. Keep your elbows slightly bent. A plie (plee-ay) is a basic ballet move. It simply means "to bend." Bend your knees, with your feet pointing away from your body. Try to get your knees to bend until they're directly above your toes. Releve (ruh-lee-vey) is a ballet move in which you rise slightly. It can be done using one or both feet. Push your feet together while keeping your knees straight. Lift your heels into the air, transferring your body weight onto the balls of your feet. You should not attempt to stand on the tips your toes without proper training as well as shoes. A saute (soh-tay) is a basic ballet jump in which you use both feet at the same time. Begin with a plie and then use your feet as if you were going to perform a releve. In doing so, jump into the air. Straighten your legs as you jump and then land on both feet.
A: Learn foot positions. Practice arm movements. Study how to plie. Practice releve. Try a saute.

Q: When gallbladder digestive fluid hardens into deposits, it can create gallstones. These deposits can range in size from the size of a grain of sand to a large golf ball. You will notice a yellowish tint to the skin or the whites of your eyes and white or chalky stools. Jaundice usually occurs when gallstones block the bile duct, causing a backup of bile into the liver. The bile may begin leaking into your bloodstream. Cholecystitis is an inflammation of the gallbladder. It can be caused by gallstones, tumors, or other gallbladder problems. These attacks often result in severe pain that can generally occur along the right side of the body or between the shoulder blades. This pain is often accompanied by nausea and other stomach discomfort. A buildup of too much bile in the gallbladder can cause gallbladder attacks. Different people experience gallbladder attacks differently. Although pain typically is on the right side, or between the shoulder blades, it may also feel like low back pain, cramps, or the like. Large or fatty meals can trigger a gallbladder attack. The attacks often occur in the evening, within hours of eating. Gallbladder attacks are usually a symptom indicating that something else is wrong with the gallbladder. If gallbladder function is compromised and the gallbladder doesn't empty as quickly as it should, a gallbladder attack may occur.
A: Learn about gallstones. Watch for signs of jaundice. Identify symptoms of Cholecystitis. Know that diet affects your gallbladder.

Q: An infected ingrown toenail will require medical treatment or the infection may spread to the bone. Signs that an ingrown toenail might be infected include: redness swelling warmth pus If you have diabetes or any condition where circulation is limited in your feet (such as peripheral artery disease), then you will need to see a podiatrist for regular check-ups. Seeing a podiatrist can reduce your chances of needing a foot or limb amputation by as much as 85%. If you notice that you have an ingrown toenail or if your toenail has become infected, then call a podiatrist to make an appointment for as soon as possible. If you often get ingrown nails, then surgical removal of all or part of the nail may be the best option. Your podiatrist can perform this procedure using local anesthesia, so you will not feel anything. If the problem keeps recurring, then it may be necessary to remove an entire section of the nail root to prevent future ingrown nails.
A:
Check for signs of infection. See a podiatrist regularly if you have a condition that limits your circulation. Consider surgical removal.
