Health Ministry Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a disease of the arteries beyond the heart. It most commonly affects the blood supply to the legs and results from clogged arteries. When your muscles don[‘t get the oxygen and nutrients they need during exercise such as walking you may experience a cramping discomfort squeezing or tightness in the calf. Sometimes it is intermittent because the pains stop with rest and then you could resume walking. This leg muscle fatigue discomfort or pain is the primary symptom of peripheral arterial disease. Many people don’t experience any leg muscle discomfort until the artery is blocked or occluded by 60 percent or more. Thus during the years or even decades PAD is developing you may be unaware of what’s happening inside the arteries of your body. Even when you start to experience some symptoms many people just assume these aches and pains in the leg muscles are a natural part of getting old. When arteries are damaged by atherosclerosis in one site such as the leg arteries they’re likely also damaged in other vital locations. If a blood clot forms in a damaged artery to the heart or brain it can lead to a heart attack or stroke. If you think you might have PAD talk to your doctor about your symptoms. Visit the Parish Nurse link at myolph.com for current news and information. The Shack. A presentation and discussion on the book The Shack will be facilitated by Msgr. Al Humbrecht and Deacon Dave Lucheon on Sat March 13 from 9am-12 noon at Holy Spirit Catholic Church. You are invited to bring a brown bag lunch to continue the fellowship at lunch.
