Good Morning!

Today, we explore the main causes and symptoms of aortic stenosis, which affects one in three seniors. We also discuss whether diverticulitis surgery is worth the risks, chicken salad bowls pulled from markets due to listeria concerns, and much more.

Let's begin.

Diverticulitis Dilemma: Why Surgery May Not Guarantee Relief
Many people facing recurring diverticulitis assume surgery will offer relief, but recent findings suggest that it's not always the case. While surgery can reduce symptoms for some, it may not guarantee a full resolution, and some patients continue to experience flare-ups even afterward. Read more about the risks.

Shoulder Active Assist Range of Motion, With Dowel
Active overhead movements can be painful with capsulitis, but using a dowel stick can help you move your limb through the full range of motion.

Step 1: Stand upright with your hands on a dowel stick approximately shoulder-width apart and your arms slightly forward and away from your body. Important: One hand should hold the dowel stick palm inward and face your body, while the other should face the palm outward. The arm with the palm facing outward will be the active limb moving overhead.
Step 2: Keeping the elbow straight, move your painful limb through an arc so that your hand moves as high overhead as possible, using your other limb to help push the bar. Take approximately two to three seconds to complete the move up and another two to three seconds to move your limb back down into the starting position while carefully holding the elbow of the active limb straight through the entire movement.
Step 3: Moving the limb all the way up and then back down counts as one repetition. Perform 10 total repetitions and complete three sets per side while alternating sides.

This exercise takes a little practice to master, but it is excellent for helping to maintain shoulder mobility.
