About 5 months ago I had super pain in my right shoulder. Went to Urgent Care and was told it was either a torn or inflamed rotator cuff.
Surgery was suggested. After talking with my cardiologist during my yearly checkup he said "don't get the surgery". I was going to my physical therapist Stacy and she said the same thing. That surgery takes over 6 months to heal and you can't do a thing with that arm! Zowie. So, Stacy said when I shower to run hot water on the shoulder and raise and lower it a dozen times slowly with the hot water on it. Then when I am standing or sitting, lean forward a bit, relax that arm, and just let it hang for bit. I must say that after about 3 months the pain is mostly gone! On occasion it will be a bit tender so I put heat on it. Amazing! YEAH, didn't have to have surgery!!!
All I know. Nuff said. Happy Super Bowl Sunday. Ciao.

People have been eating mushrooms for perhaps thousands of years. But, they were also shunned by many, as a lot of mushrooms are poisonous. It wasn't until the 19th century that they became popular.
Stuffed mushroom recipes go back to the 19th century. It is believed to have evolved from Italian stuffed zucchini flowers. Fortunately for us, there is a wide range of stuffed mushroom recipes, from simple bread stuffings, to lobster, crab, cheeses and much, much more.
