Fields, MD, DC</em>\r\n\r\nAfter waiting ten years with this on my bucket list, I finally was going to climb Kilimanjaro.\r\n<h3 class=\"heading-style\">Getting to Mount Kilimanjaro</h3>\r\n<div class=\"reports-img-desc\">\r\n<div class=\"imgbox\"><img class=\"alignleft\" src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/20190210_061752.jpg\" alt=\"\" /></div>\r\n<div class=\"reports-desc\">\r\n\r\nThe trip to Kilimanjaro began with an 11-hour flight to London where I had a 36-hour layover. Saw \"Tina, The Musical\" (life and times of Tina Turner). Great show.  Then 9 ½ hour flight to Nairobi, where I spent 24 hours so I was able to see the city. Then a one-hour flight to Kilimanjaro, Tanzania. My arrival at Kilimanjaro airport was on Sunday night. This was followed by a two-and-a-half-hour ride, with half of it on a very bumpy dirt road, before reaching the destination at the base camp. Since it was almost midnight, I went straight to my tent, which was quite luxurious for camping, and included a sink, a bathroom, and even a shower. I took advantage of a quick shower and went straight to bed.\r\n<div class=\"btn-wrap\"><a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/Day-1-Kiliminaro-and-base-camp-arrival\"><strong>See Photos</strong></a>\r\n<a href=\"/kilimanjaro-climb-gallery/\"><strong>View Trip Gallery</strong></a></div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h2 class=\"heading-style\">Kilimanjaro Pre-Hike</h2>\r\n<div class=\"reports-img-desc\">\r\n<div class=\"imgbox\"><img src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/20190211_054908.jpg\" /></div>\r\n<div class=\"reports-desc\">\r\n\r\nAfter a nice breakfast, where I met the other climbers and our trek leaders, we went for a short two-hour hike just to see the local terrain. It was beautiful, with waterfalls and lots of lush plants and greenery. The guide leader went through our entire pack to make sure that we would be taking everything we needed and that everything was in good shape. The rest of the day was just spent relaxing, except for a short sunset hike of 10 minutes, where at the top of the small hill they had wine waiting for us. A pleasant surprise.\r\n<div class=\"btn-wrap\"><a href=\"/kilimanjaro-pre-hike/\"><strong>See Photos</strong></a>\r\n<a href=\"/kilimanjaro-climb-gallery/\"><strong>View Trip Gallery</strong></a></div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h2 class=\"heading-style\">Getting to the Trailhead and First Day Hike Towards Kilimanjaro</h2>\r\n[gallery display=\"grid\" link=\"none\" columns=\"4\" size=\"wcsquare\" ids=\"5235,5231\"]\r\n<div class=\"reports-img-desc\">\r\n<div class=\"imgbox\"></div>\r\n<div class=\"reports-desc\">\r\n\r\nAfter a two-hour ride, we arrived at the check-in point. The weather was hot enough to wear shorts and t-shirts since we were only 3 degrees off the equator. There we saw the more than 45 plus Sherpa’s that would accompany us. There were six Sherpa’s( there were six hikers) to carry each person’s clothing (colder weather gear, nighttime clothes, toiletries, etc.). Then six to carry our bedding, and tents ( double roofed for better rain protection), six would carry our food for 7 days ( three full meals a day), eight of them made up the kitchen team, another team of two would carry the oxygen and medicine, four to carry the toilets and tents over them, plus about 10 other Sherpa’s would carry all the tents, tables and chairs. There were also 10 more to carry all of the sherpa’s food and equipment.\r\n\r\nWe had to register and show our passports, and after that, we took a short 20-minute drive to the trailhead. Arriving at noon, a very nice, well-prepared lunch was ready for us. We started the hike at 7700 feet and climbed to 9300 feet. The area was mostly jungle-like, with a lot of fantastic plants, birds, and other exotic wildlife, including Colobus monkeys and other animals. When we arrived at the camp at 9300 feet, the tents were already set up, and we unpacked our gear in each individual tent, had dinner and went to sleep.\r\n<div class=\"btn-wrap\"><a href=\"/Kili-Getting-to-the-trailhead/\"><strong>See Photos</strong></a>\r\n<a href=\"/kilimanjaro-climb-gallery/\"><strong>View Trip Gallery</strong></a></div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h3 class=\"heading-style\">Hiking to 11,400 ft</h3>\r\n[gallery columns=\"4\" size=\"wcsquare\" display=\"grid\" link=\"file\" ids=\"5256,5261\"]\r\n<div class=\"reports-img-desc\">\r\n<div class=\"imgbox\"></div>\r\n<div class=\"reports-desc\">\r\n\r\nAt 6:30 AM we were woken up with a hot bowl of water to wash up and get ready for the day. A very full breakfast was prepared for us and then we started off to hike again. For hiking, it’s important to eat three square meals a day as well as drink a minimum of three liters of water a day. Without this exhaustion, dehydration, and more can happen. The guides made sure that we would eat a lot and consume lots of water.\r\n\r\nWe headed off on our hike up to 11,400 feet, crossing from the Montane Forest into the Hagenia Zone, where we saw many different plants and beautiful trees throughout the canyon.\r\n\r\nI felt pretty good, as I had taken Diamox, a medicine to help prevent altitude sickness. I had a Camelback-style drinking system so I was drinking copious amounts of water. At night it was cold but with the proper gear (well worth the expense!), I felt warm.\r\n<div class=\"btn-wrap\"><a href=\"/kili-hiking-to-11400-ft/\"><strong>See Photos</strong></a>\r\n<a href=\"/kilimanjaro-climb-gallery/\"><strong>View Trip Gallery</strong></a></div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h3 class=\"heading-style\">Hiking to 13,400 ft</h3>\r\n[gallery columns=\"4\" size=\"wcsquare\" display=\"grid\" link=\"file\" ids=\"5351,5352\"]\r\n<div class=\"reports-img-desc\">\r\n<div class=\"imgbox\"></div>\r\n<div class=\"reports-desc\">\r\n\r\nWe had another early wake-up call today and another substantial breakfast (scrambled eggs, toast, pancakes, fruit, toast, jelly, peanut butter, tea/coffee, and more. We hiked across a large plateau and gained about 2,100 feet in altitude. It was very interesting as we passed into the upper heath zone, where there were no more trees here, just a lot of different plants. And lots of volcanic rock (the last active volcano here took place over 10,000 years ago).\r\n\r\nThe hiking was very slow and consistent, as they say in Swahili, “Poli, Poli.” Again I felt very good when arriving at Moir camp at 13,500 feet. We had beautiful views of the mountain as the clouds moved away. It was really spectacular!\r\n<div class=\"btn-wrap\"><a href=\"/kili-hiking-to-13400-feet/\"><strong>See Photos</strong></a>\r\n<a href=\"/kilimanjaro-climb-gallery/\"><strong>View Trip Gallery</strong></a></div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h3 class=\"heading-style\">Kilimanjaro Hiking to 15,500 Feet</h3>\r\n[gallery columns=\"4\" size=\"wcsquare\" display=\"grid\" link=\"file\" ids=\"5271,5270\"]\r\n<div class=\"reports-img-desc\">\r\n<div class=\"imgbox\"></div>\r\n<div class=\"reports-desc\">\r\n\r\nWe woke up again at 6:30 AM, had breakfast at 7, and were hiking by 7:30. Today was a shorter hike of only 3.1 miles, but we did climb 2000 feet. It was slow in some parts and the steep sections were even slower. Finally, we arrived at camp after hiking for only 2 hours and 20 minutes. We were now at 15,500 feet. The air is very thin, so with every step you take, you have to think about it. But when we arrived at camp, everything seemed to settle down. During the afternoon there was a hale storm that turned into snow, so everybody went into their tents. I probably took a 3-hour well-needed nap. After a good dinner, we all went to bed, but not until we viewed the beautiful skies at 15,500 feet in the southern hemisphere.\r\n<div class=\"btn-wrap\"><a href=\"/kili-hiking-to-15500-feet/\"><strong>See Photos</strong></a>\r\n<a href=\"/kilimanjaro-climb-gallery/\"><strong>View Trip Gallery</strong></a></div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h3 class=\"heading-style\">Getting To Camp At 16,500 Feet</h3>\r\n[gallery columns=\"4\" size=\"wcsquare\" display=\"grid\" link=\"file\" ids=\"5291,5283\"]\r\n<div class=\"reports-img-desc\">\r\n<div class=\"imgbox\"></div>\r\n<div class=\"reports-desc\">\r\n\r\nWe had the usual wake-up call at 6:30 AM and were on the trail by 7:30. It snowed during the night, but only half an inch or so, making everything white and beautiful. The good news is this meant it was right around 32 degrees. The sun came out, so it was warm when we hiked but a little bit cooler when clouds were overhead. Plus with the altitude (lots of breathing) and hiking effort, one was rarely cold. Today’s hike was only 1,000 feet of climbing and a short hike to the base camp. The big hike tomorrow will only be about an hour and 20 minutes, but it will be over a lot of rocks and boulders and will be steep in some places. We arrived at the base camp around 10:30 – 11 in the morning. We were supposed to go for a short hike from there without our packs but it started snowing for over an hour, so that was canceled. Tomorrow morning, we will have a 4 AM wake-up call in anticipation of a 2,300-foot elevation climb up to 18,650 feet.\r\n<div class=\"btn-wrap\"><a href=\"/16-500-feet-to-18-400/\"><strong>See Photos</strong></a>\r\n<a href=\"/kilimanjaro-climb-gallery/\"><strong>View Trip Gallery</strong></a></div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h3 class=\"heading-style\">Kilimanjaro Final Camp At 18,500 Feet</h3>\r\n[gallery columns=\"4\" size=\"wcsquare\" display=\"grid\" link=\"file\" ids=\"5292,5293\"]\r\n<div class=\"reports-img-desc\">\r\n<div class=\"imgbox\"></div>\r\n<div class=\"reports-desc\">\r\n\r\nWake-up call at 4 AM and breakfast at 4:30. The slow group left at 5. We (my hiking partner, myself, and our guide) left about 5:30. At this altitude of over 16,000 feet, everyone moves very slowly. The first little part was steep and slightly snow-covered, but then it got extremely steep and no longer covered in snow.\r\n\r\nWe climbed 2,400 feet over 2.6 miles. The first hour was in the dark, but we all had headlamps. It was very rocky and we had to use our hands sometimes to climb. We ran into a few other tours on the trail and all of us had to cut across a mountainside since the snow had obliterated the trail the night before.\r\n\r\nWe were now over 17, 000 feet. One of the guides from another tour (all the guides know each other) had a pickaxe and so he chopped thru the snow to make it easier on our footing. Even so, it was very slippery. There were times we had to use all four extremities to climb, even kneeling on the next step up because the step was too high to reach with our foot. Breathing was becoming more and more labored and it was difficult to catch our breath in the thinning air.\r\n\r\nWhen we stopped at 18,000 feet for a snack and water, we thought the worst was over, but that wasn’t the case. The next 500 feet were very rocky and slippery, and that along with the very thin air meant we had to take three or four steps before needing to stop for a break. Like having a bag over your head and pulling for each breath.\r\n\r\nFinally, we reached the craters ridge and were very happy. These are remnants of glaciers that once covered this entire valley. The whole valley was snow-covered and looked like we were walking in a desert. When we arrived, we were not allowed to lie down in our tents for about a good hour because we needed to let our bodies acclimate to the thin air at 18,600 feet.\r\n\r\nAfter that, we enjoyed a well-deserved nap before an early dinner because we would be getting up again at 4 AM to climb to the top of Kilimanjaro!\r\n<div class=\"btn-wrap\"><a href=\"/kilimanjaro-final-camp-at-18500-feet/\"><strong>See Photos</strong></a>\r\n<a href=\"/kilimanjaro-climb-gallery/\"><strong>View Trip Gallery</strong></a></div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h2 class=\"heading-style\">Climbing To The Top Of Kilimanjaro 19,341 Ft/5895 Meters Beginning The Descent</h2>\r\n[gallery columns=\"4\" size=\"wcsquare\" display=\"grid\" link=\"file\" ids=\"5331,5372\"]\r\n<div class=\"reports-img-desc\">\r\n<div class=\"imgbox\"></div>\r\n<div class=\"reports-desc\">\r\n\r\nThe night was extremely cold, with ground temperatures probably down to zero degrees Fahrenheit. We did everything to keep ourselves warm! I laid my down jacket on top of my sleeping bag (which was rated to zero degrees), plus I had a liner inside the sleeping bag which gave me an additional 25 degrees of warmth. I am definitely not a cold weather person but with the right gear, it was not too bad.\r\n\r\nWe were woken up at 4 AM. After eating and packing our stuff (only our personal things; the Sherpa took care of the sleeping bag and tent each morning and night), we were off for a 75-minute climb, basically straight up and extremely cold. Fortunately, I had bought the best mittens ever and my hands were not cold. Nonetheless, my legs and face took the brunt of it, and we moved very, very slowly. 10 feet could take several minutes. After a very hard, straight-up climbing, we had to cross a flat plane to the actual top of the mountain. The wind was blowing like crazy. The air temp was around minus 10 Fahrenheit with the wind chill probably down to negative 45 or 50 Fahrenheit. But all 6 of us had made it. It was a special feeling…an unbelievable feeling!\r\n\r\nI always carry some ashes of my parents no matter where I travel in this world. And since this was a very special place, I quietly said a prayer, took off my mittens (brrr), and sprinkled some of their ashes at the top. They had made it the whole way with me!\r\n\r\nWe took our pictures and then had to get going due to the intense winds and brutal cold. Fortunately, we summited very early and there were only one or two other groups at the top. Later on, there would be at least 50-100 people. We saw a gorgeous sunrise since it was shortly before 7 in the morning. We were almost on the equator, and sunrise and sunsets are always at around 6:30 to 7 am without much variation from season to season.\r\n\r\nImmediately, once we started to go down, we could feel the release of pressure in our lungs and chest. The descent and decreasing pressure made it a lot easier on our lungs, plus it was now all downhill. After an hour or two, our quads really felt it, and we would be walking downhill for the next 5 to 6 hours!\r\n\r\nWe did stop for a small break for some lunch, but our appetite was low due to the altitude. Several of the hikers experienced altitude sickness on the way up, with nausea, diarrhea, headaches loss of appetite, and weakness. I felt worse while descending, but fortunately, I had only lost my appetite with slight nausea and it lasted only for a short period of time. Anyway, we finally made it to camp at 10,500 feet. The weather was really nice and a bit warmer, between about 45 to 50 degrees or more. What a difference from the night before! We all had a good meal and rested, as we had been hiking downhill for over 8 hours, and all of our legs were extremely tired.\r\n<div class=\"btn-wrap\"><a href=\"/Hiking-to-the-summit-19-341-feet/\"><strong>See Photos</strong></a>\r\n<a href=\"/kilimanjaro-climb-gallery/\"><strong>View Trip Gallery</strong></a></div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h3 class=\"heading-style\">The descent and saying goodbye</h3>\r\n<div class=\"reports-img-desc\">\r\n<div class=\"imgbox\"></div>\r\n<div class=\"reports-desc\">\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignleft\" src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Sunriseuptop-3.jpg\" width=\"400\" />We woke up at 6:30 AM, which was a big difference from 4 AM. Today would be our last night, and we would be saying goodbye to all the Sherpas as they would leave the trail. Only the guides would continue with us. I volunteered to be the spokesperson of the group, which meant I would be collecting the tip money and giving a short speech.\r\n\r\nAfter breakfast, the 40 or so sherpas gathered around singing and dancing. I actually joined them in the dancing, which I have a video of. I was very tired, but it was still worth it. I gave a 3-minute speech thanking every one of them for all of their hard work and dedication, and telling them that their help, whether by carrying a table, carrying sleeping bags, setting up tents, preparing food and everything else they did for us, was all very special and helped us so much.\r\n\r\nWe then set off for our last 6 to 7-hour hike downhill. Although it was not very steep, it was a dried-up river bed that was full of rocks and stones, making footing uneasy, and causing our quads to be even more on fire. I and several others had foldable walking sticks and this helped a lot. But we knew the end was coming, so we just kept going. We stopped for lunch and continued on. After about 7 hours, we saw the base camp. Nothing could be sweeter! I signed out at the Ranger station and basically collapsed into the waiting truck. There were a lot of campers and hikers ending in this same area, so they drove us about 20 minutes away.\r\n\r\nWe had some lunch and then drove the rest of the way back to the lodge, which was a beautiful hotel about half an hour outside of Arusha on an old coffee plantation. Everybody had their own cabin. For the first time in 9 days, I took a shower. It was wonderful! Then we all gathered with the two guides and I said a few more words to represent the group. We had a nice dinner, and then two people left for the airport by 7 PM. That night, was my first night of sleep in a bed, after 9 days. It was fantastic! The mission was accomplished!\r\n<div class=\"btn-wrap\"><a href=\"/Sunrise-up-top-and-heading-down\"><strong>See Photos</strong></a>\r\n<a href=\"/kilimanjaro-climb-gallery/\"><strong>View Trip Gallery</strong></a></div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h2 class=\"heading-style\">Kilimanjaro Was Amazing! Final Goodbyes and certificate</h2>\r\n<div class=\"reports-img-desc\">\r\n<div class=\"imgbox\"></div>\r\n<div class=\"reports-desc\">\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignleft\" src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/final-goodbyes-9.jpg\" width=\"400\" />Even though the trip was not exactly as described in the pamphlet, it was something I had had on my bucket list for over 10 years. It was extremely difficult at times. Some of our hikers had difficulty even moving and needed assistance. But we all persevered. I’ve done 10 Ironman races so far (now 11!), which require monumental training. But the long hike up to the crater from 16,800 feet to 18,400, with the subsequent day of summiting, followed by the 9,000-foot descent, were some of the hardest things that I’ve ever done. And that includes all my Ironman competitions.\r\n\r\nYou just can’t imagine what it’s like trying to move at that altitude. As I said before, it is similar to having a paper bag over your head and trying to grasp for air. There were times I took two or three steps and then had to pause for 15 or 20 seconds just to get my heart rate and breathing back down, repeating that again and again and again. Never looking ahead, only down, because sometimes ten feet took 45-60 seconds to hike. All this while enduring the sub-freezing temperature, the blowing snow, and the wind chill factors. Nothing but grit and determination to keep you going. But the views were spectacular and the feeling of being literally on top of the world made it all worth it.\r\n\r\nI’ll continue to enjoy my Ironman triathlons and continue to do them as long as I can. But as far as hiking up a mountain to 19,341 feet, this will be my one and only time! It’s a tremendous accomplishment, but something I would not want to repeat.\r\n<div class=\"btn-wrap\"><a href=\"/Final-goodbyes-and-certificates\"><strong>See Photos</strong></a>\r\n<a href=\"/kilimanjaro-climb-gallery/\"><strong>View Trip Gallery</strong></a></div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<div class=\"video-flex-wrap\">\r\n<div class=\"video-box\"><img src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/final-goodbyes-1.jpg\" /></div>\r\n</div>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h3 class=\"heading-style\" style=\"text-align: center;\">Thank You to Everyone Who Made Kilimanjaro A Possibility!</h3>\r\nThank you to everyone that sent me well wishes before, during, and after my climb.

I hope this will inspire you that if a goal is desired, to just put your head down and keep going no matter how difficult it may seem.\r\n<div class=\"btn-wrap\"><a href=\"/kilimanjaro-climb-gallery/\"><strong>View Trip Gallery</strong></a></div>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<strong>Peter A.

Upon returning to the States, I requested a brochure, and it has been sitting on my coffee table for the past ten years.  This year, I finally decided it was about time to climb Kilimanjaro.\r\n\r\n<h5>Arrival</h5>\r\n<img src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/klimanjaro-8.jpg\" alt=\"\" />\r\n\r\nAfter flying from Los Angeles to London and then to Nairobi, the plane finally arrived at the Kilimanjaro airport. A two-and-a-half-hour ride followed that flight, and half of it was on a very bumpy dirt road, before reaching the base camp destination. By now it was almost midnight, and I went straight to my tent, which amazingly was quite luxurious considering it was camping. It even included a sink, a bathroom and even a shower. I took advantage of a quick shower and went straight to bed.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://www.thegeminigeeks.com/server1/Day-1-Kiliminaro-and-base-camp-arrival\"><strong>See Photos</strong></a>\r\n\r\n<h5>Pre-Climb Hike</h5>\r\n<img src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/klimanjaro-9.jpg\" alt=\"\" />\r\n\r\nAfter a nice breakfast, where I met the other climbers and our trek leaders, we went for a short two-hour hike just to see the local terrain and loosen our legs.\r\nIt was beautiful, with waterfalls and lots of lush plants and greenery. Later, the head guide went through my entire pack to make sure that we would be taking all we needed and that everything was in good shape. The rest of the day was spent relaxing, except for a short sunset hike of 10 minutes, where they had wine waiting for us at the top of the small hill.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://www.thegeminigeeks.com/server1/Finally-hiking\"><strong>See Photos</strong></a>\r\n\r\n<h5>First Day Hike</h5>\r\n<img src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/klimanjaro-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" />\r\n\r\nAfter a two hour ride, we arrived at the check-in point. The weather was hot enough to wear shorts and t-shirts, since we were only 3 degrees north of the equator. There we saw the more than 45 plus Sherpas that would accompany us. There were six Sherpa alone just to carry each person\'s equipment (there were six of us). Additionally, six Sherpa would carry our food for seven days, eight of them made up the kitchen team, another team of two would carry the oxygen and medicine, plus about ten other Porters would carry all the tents, tables and chairs. There were also ten more to carry all of the other Porters’ food and equipment.\r\n\r\nWe had to register and show our passports, and after that we took a short 20-minute drive to the trailhead. Arriving at noon, a very nice, well-prepared lunch was ready for us. We started the hike at 7,700 feet and climbed to 9,300 feet. The area was mostly jungle-like, with a lot of fantastic plants, birds and other exotic wildlife, including Colobus monkeys and other animals. When we arrived at the camp at 9,300 feet, the tents were already set up, and we unpacked our gear in each individual tent, had dinner and went to sleep.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://www.thegeminigeeks.com/server1/Kili-Getting-to-the-trailhead\"><strong>See Photos</strong></a>\r\n\r\n<h5>Second Day Hike</h5>\r\nAt 6:30AM we were woken up with a hot bowl of water to wash up and get ready for the day. A very full breakfast was prepared for us and afterwards we started off to hike again. We headed off on our hike up to 11,400 feet, crossing from the Montane Forest into the Hagenia Zone, where we saw many different plants and beautiful trees throughout the canyon.\r\nFor this type of hiking, it’s important to eat three square meals a day and drink a minimum of three liters of water daily for the required energy and for prevention of dehydration. I fortunately felt pretty good, as I had taken Diamox, a medicine to help prevent altitude sickness. In addition, I carried a Camelback system on my back, which is a water bag with tubing for drinking kept inside of my backpack, enabling me to drink copious amounts of water and stay hydrated. It was cold at night, but with the proper gear I felt warm.\r\n\r\n<h5>Day Three Hike</h5>\r\nWe had another early wake-up call and a good breakfast. We hiked across a large plateau and gained about 2,100 feet in altitude. It was very interesting as we passed into the Upper Heath Zone, because there were no longer any trees there, just a lot of different plants as well as volcanic rock, since the last active volcano took place there over 10,000 years ago.\r\n\r\nThe hiking was very slow and consistent, which in Swahili they call, “Polli, Polli.” Again, I felt very good when arriving at Moir Camp at 13,500 feet. We had beautiful views on the mountain as the clouds moved away. It was really spectacular!\r\n\r\n<h5>Day Four Hike</h5>\r\n<img src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/klimanjaro-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" />\r\n\r\nWe woke up again at 6:30AM, had breakfast at 7 and were hiking by 7:30. We had a shorter hike of only 3.1 miles, but we did climb 2,000 feet. It was slow in some parts and the steep sections were even slower. Finally, we arrived in camp after hiking only 2 hours and 20 minutes to an elevation of 15,500 feet. The air was very thin at this elevation, and you think about every single step you take. But when we arrived at camp, everything seemed to settle down. During the afternoon there was a hale storm that turned into snow, so everybody went into their tents.  I took about a 3-hour well-needed nap. After a good dinner, we all went to bed, but not until we viewed the magnificent skies at 15,500 feet in the southern hemisphere.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://www.thegeminigeeks.com/server1/Kili-Hiking-to-15000-feet\"><strong>See Photos</strong></a>\r\n\r\n<h5>Day Five Hike</h5>\r\n<img src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/klimanjaro-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" />\r\n\r\nWe had the usual wake-up call at 6:30AM and were on the road by 7:30. It snowed during the night, but only half an inch or so, making everything white and beautiful. The good news is this meant it was right around 32 degrees, and with the sun out, we were warm when we hiked but a little bit cooler when clouds were overhead. The hike was only one thousand feet of climbing, and a short hike to the base camp. Tomorrow’s big hike will only be about an hour and 20 minutes, but it will be over a lot of rocks and boulders and will be steep in some places. We arrived at the base camp around 10:30 - 11 in the morning. We were supposed to go for a short hike from there without our packs but it started snowing for over an hour, so that was cancelled. Tomorrow morning we will have a 4AM wake-up call in anticipation of a 2,300 foot elevation climb up to18,650 feet.\r\n\r\n<h5>Day Six Hike</h5>\r\n<img src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/klimanjaro-6.jpg\" alt=\"\" />\r\n\r\nWake-up call at 4AM and breakfast at 4:30. The slower hiker group left at 5. We left about 5:30. At this point, the altitude is over 16,000 feet, and everyone moves very slowly. The first little part was steep and slightly snow-covered, but then it became extremely steep and no longer covered in snow. We climbed 2,400 feet over 2.6 miles. The first hour was in the dark, but we all had headlights. It was very rocky and we had to use our hands sometimes to climb. We ran into a few other tours on the trail and all of us had to cut across a mountain side since the snow had obliterated the trail the night before. We were now at over 17, 000 feet. One of the guides from another tour (all the guides know each other) had a pickaxe and so he chopped thru the snow to make it easier for our footing. Even so, it was very slippery. There were times we had to use all four extremities to climb and even needed to kneel on the next step up because the following step was too high to reach with our foot. Breathing was becoming more and more labored and it was difficult to catch our breath in the thinning air. When we stopped at 18,000 feet for a snack and water, we thought the worst was over, but that wasn’t the case. The next 500 feet were very rocky and slippery, and that along with the very thin air, meant we could only take three or four steps before needing to stop for a break. Finally, we reached Craters Ridge and were very happy. These are remnants of glaciers that once covered this entire valley. The whole valley was snow-covered and looked like we were walking in a desert. When we arrived, we were not allowed to lie down in our tents for about a good hour because we needed to let our bodies acclimate to the thin air at 18,600 feet. Once we did that, we were able to enjoy a well-deserved nap before an early dinner because we would be getting up again at 4AM to climb to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro!\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://www.thegeminigeeks.com/server1/16-500-feet-to-18-400\"><strong>See Photos</strong></a>\r\n\r\n<h5>Day Seven Hike</h5>\r\n<img src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/klimanjaro-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" />\r\n\r\nThe night was extremely cold, with ground temperatures dropping down to about zero degrees Fahrenheit. We did everything to keep ourselves warm. I slept on two thin air mattresses, and to stay warmer, laid my down jacket on top of my sleeping bag which was rated to zero degrees. It also had a liner inside which gave me an additional 25 degrees of warmth.\r\n\r\nWe were woken up at 4 AM. After eating and packing our stuff, we were off for a 75 minute climb, basically straight up and extremely cold. Fortunately, I had bought the best mittens ever and my hands were not cold. That was a miracle for me, because I usually always have cold hands and feet, even in Southern California! Nonetheless, my legs and face took the brunt of the cold, and we moved very, very slowly. After a very difficult, straight up climb, we had to cross a flat plane to the actual top of the mountain. It was really cold. The temperature was probably about minus 7 or 10 degrees Fahrenheit. The wind was blowing like crazy, at least 30 mph, and with the wind chill, it felt like negative 42 or 50 degrees Fahrenheit.\r\nBut all 6 of us had made it. It was a special feeling…an unbelievable feeling! Words are hard to describe it.  Yes, I had finally made it, and the views were spectacular!!\r\nI always carry some ashes of my parents no matter where I travel to in this world. And since this was a very special place, I quietly said a prayer, took off my mittens (brrr), and sprinkled some of their ashes at the top. They had made it with me the entire way.\r\n\r\nWe all took our pictures and then had to get going due to the intense winds and brutal cold. Fortunately, we summited very early and there were only one or two other groups at the top. Later on, there would be at least 50-100 people. We saw a gorgeous sunrise, since it was only about 7 in the morning. We were close to the equator, and sunrise and sunsets are always around the same time without much variation from season to season.\r\nOnce we started to go down, we could immediately feel the release of pressure in our lungs and chest. The descent and decreasing pressure made it a lot easier on our lungs, plus it was now all downhill. After an hour or two, our quadriceps muscles in the front of our upper legs really felt it, and we had downhill walking for the next 5 to 6 hours! We did stop for a small break for some lunch, but appetite was low due to the altitude. Several of the hikers experienced altitude sickness on the way up, with nausea, diarrhea, headaches and weakness.  I had none of that but did have loss of appetite and slight weakness going down for a short time.\r\n\r\nAnyway, we finally made it to the camp at 10,500 feet. The weather was really nice and a bit warmer, between about 45 to 50 degrees or more. What a difference from the night before! We all had a good meal and rested, as we had been hiking downhill for over 8 hours, and all of our legs were extremely tired.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://www.thegeminigeeks.com/server1/Hiking-to-the-summit-19-341-feet\"><strong>See Photos</strong></a>\r\n\r\n<h5>Day Eight Hike</h5>\r\nWe woke up at 6:30AM, which was a big difference from 4AM. Today would be our last night, and we would be saying goodbye to all the Porters. Only the guides would continue with us. I volunteered to be the spokesperson of the group, which meant I would be collecting the tip money and giving a short speech.\r\n\r\nAfter breakfast, the 40 or so Porters gathered around singing and dancing. I actually joined them in the dancing, which I have a video of. I was very tired, but it was still worth it. I gave a 3 minute speech thanking every one of them for all of their hard work and dedication, and telling them that their help, whether by carrying a table, carrying sleeping bags, setting up tents, preparing food and everything else they did for us, was all very special and helped us so much.\r\n\r\nWe then set off for our last 6 to 7 hour hike downhill. Although it was not very steep, this dried up river bed was full of rocks and stones, making footing uneasy, and causing our quadriceps muscles to be even more on fire. But we knew the end was coming, helping us to press forward. We stopped for lunch and continued on. After about 7 hours, the final spot was in sight…the area where we would exit the park. Nothing could be sweeter! I signed out at the Ranger Station and basically collapsed into the waiting truck. There were a lot of campers and hikers ending in this same area, so they drove us about 20 minutes away.\r\n\r\nWe had some lunch and then drove the rest of the way back to the lodge, a beautiful hotel about half an hour outside of Arusha on an old coffee plantation. Everybody had their own cabin. For the first time in 9 days I could take a shower. It was wonderful! Then we all gathered with the two guides and I said a few more words to represent the group. We had a nice dinner, and then two people left for the airport by 7PM. That night, was my first night sleep in a bed in nine days. It was fantastic! The mission was accomplished!\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://www.thegeminigeeks.com/server1/Sunrise-up-top-and-heading-down\"><strong>See Photos</strong></a>\r\n\r\n<h5>Postscript</h5>\r\n<img src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/klimanjaro-5.jpg\" alt=\"\" />\r\n\r\nEven though the trip was not exactly as described in the pamphlet that sat on my coffee table for ten years, it was something I had had on my bucket list for all of that time. The adventure was quite challenging and extremely difficult at times. Some of our hikers had difficulty even moving. It was so hard that they required assistance. But we all persevered. In my life, I’ve completed 10 Ironman races so far. These competitions require monumental training. But during this Mount Kilimanjaro trek, with the long hike up to the crater from 16,800 feet to 18,400, and the subsequent days of summiting, followed by the 9,000 foot descent, I faced some of the hardest things that I\'ve ever done. And that includes my ten Ironman competitions.\r\n\r\nYou just can\'t imagine what it\'s like trying to move at that altitude. It\'s similar to having a paper bag over your head and trying to breath. There were times I took two or three steps and then had to pause for 15, 20 or even 30 seconds, repeating that again and again and again.  Never looking ahead, only down, because sometimes ten feet took 30-60 seconds to cross.  All of this while enduring the sub-freezing temperature, the blowing snow and the wind chill factors. Nothing but grit and determination to kept us going.\r\nI\'ll continue to enjoy my Ironman triathlons and continue to do them as long as I can. But as far as hiking up a mountain to 19,341 feet, this will be my one and only time! It\'s a tremendous accomplishment, but something I would not want to repeat.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://www.thegeminigeeks.com/server1/Final-goodbyes-and-certificates\"><strong>See Photos</strong></a>\r\n\r\n<h5>Post Postscript</h5>\r\nThank you to everyone who sent me well wishes before, during, and after my climb.  It meant so much! I thank my parents who gave me the will and determination to achieve all of the goals in my life, no matter how hard they are. They always ingrained this determination in me and encouraged me to just put my head down and keep going. As I said above, they were with me the whole way and always will be.\r\n\r\n','Report of My Kilimanjaro Climb','','inherit','closed','closed','','2208-revision-v1','','','2019-06-28 06:21:11','2019-06-28 06:21:11','',2208,'https://www.drfields.com/uncategorized/2208-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(2219,8,'2019-06-28 06:25:30','2019-06-28 06:25:30','[gallery columns=\"4\" size=\"wcsquare\" display=\"grid\" link=\"file\" ids=\"5200,5199,5201,5202,5203,5204,5205,5206\"]','Day 1-Kiliminaro and base camp arrival','','publish','closed','closed','','day-1-kiliminaro-and-base-camp-arrival','','','2022-07-26 05:42:46','2022-07-26 05:42:46','',0,'https://www.drfields.com/?page_id=2219',0,'page','',0),(2220,8,'2019-06-28 06:23:42','2019-06-28 06:23:42','Drfieldday1kilimanaro (2)','Drfieldday1kilimanaro (2)','Drfieldday1kilimanaro (2)','inherit','open','closed','','drfieldday1kilimanaro-2','','','2019-06-28 06:23:42','2019-06-28 06:23:42','',0,'https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/DrfieldDay1Kilimanaro-2.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(2221,8,'2019-06-28 06:23:43','2019-06-28 06:23:43','Drfieldday1kilimanaro (3)','Drfieldday1kilimanaro (3)','Drfieldday1kilimanaro (3)','inherit','open','closed','','drfieldday1kilimanaro-3','','','2019-06-28 06:23:43','2019-06-28 06:23:43','',0,'https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/DrfieldDay1Kilimanaro-3.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(2222,8,'2019-06-28 06:23:44','2019-06-28 06:23:44','Drfieldday1kilimanaro (4)','Drfieldday1kilimanaro (4)','Drfieldday1kilimanaro (4)','inherit','open','closed','','drfieldday1kilimanaro-4','','','2019-06-28 06:23:44','2019-06-28 06:23:44','',0,'https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/DrfieldDay1Kilimanaro-4.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(2223,8,'2019-06-28 06:23:45','2019-06-28 06:23:45','Drfieldday1kilimanaro (5)','Drfieldday1kilimanaro (5)','Drfieldday1kilimanaro (5)','inherit','open','closed','','drfieldday1kilimanaro-5','','','2019-06-28 06:23:45','2019-06-28 06:23:45','',0,'https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/DrfieldDay1Kilimanaro-5.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(2224,8,'2019-06-28 06:23:45','2019-06-28 06:23:45','Drfieldday1kilimanaro (6)','Drfieldday1kilimanaro (6)','Drfieldday1kilimanaro (6)','inherit','open','closed','','drfieldday1kilimanaro-6','','','2019-06-28 06:23:45','2019-06-28 06:23:45','',0,'https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/DrfieldDay1Kilimanaro-6.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(2225,8,'2019-06-28 06:23:46','2019-06-28 06:23:46','Drfieldday1kilimanaro (7)','Drfieldday1kilimanaro (7)','Drfieldday1kilimanaro (7)','inherit','open','closed','','drfieldday1kilimanaro-7','','','2019-06-28 06:23:46','2019-06-28 06:23:46','',0,'https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/DrfieldDay1Kilimanaro-7.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(2226,8,'2019-06-28 06:23:47','2019-06-28 06:23:47','Drfieldday1kilimanaro (8)','Drfieldday1kilimanaro (8)','Drfieldday1kilimanaro (8)','inherit','open','closed','','drfieldday1kilimanaro-8','','','2019-06-28 06:23:47','2019-06-28 06:23:47','',0,'https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/DrfieldDay1Kilimanaro-8.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(2227,8,'2019-06-28 06:23:47','2019-06-28 06:23:47','Drfieldday1kilimanaro (1)','Drfieldday1kilimanaro (1)','Drfieldday1kilimanaro (1)','inherit','open','closed','','drfieldday1kilimanaro-1','','','2019-06-28 06:23:47','2019-06-28 06:23:47','',0,'https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/DrfieldDay1Kilimanaro-1.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(2228,8,'2019-06-28 06:25:30','2019-06-28 06:25:30','<div class=\"inner\" id=\"kiliminaroimg\">\r\n<img src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/DrfieldDay1Kilimanaro-1.jpg\" alt=\"Drfieldday1kilimanaro (1)\"   />\r\n<img  src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/DrfieldDay1Kilimanaro-2.jpg\" alt=\"Drfieldday1kilimanaro (2)\"/><img  src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/DrfieldDay1Kilimanaro-3.jpg\" alt=\"Drfieldday1kilimanaro (3)\"/>\r\n<img src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/DrfieldDay1Kilimanaro-4.jpg\"><img src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/DrfieldDay1Kilimanaro-5.jpg\"><img src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/DrfieldDay1Kilimanaro-6.jpg\">\r\n<img src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/DrfieldDay1Kilimanaro-7.jpg\"><img src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/DrfieldDay1Kilimanaro-8.jpg\">\r\n\r\n</div>','Day 1-Kiliminaro and base camp arrival','','inherit','closed','closed','','2219-revision-v1','','','2019-06-28 06:25:30','2019-06-28 06:25:30','',2219,'https://www.drfields.com/uncategorized/2219-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(2229,8,'2019-06-28 06:29:08','2019-06-28 06:29:08','<h4>Report of My Kilimanjaro Climb</h4>\r\n<em>By Peter A. Fields, MD, DC</em>\r\n\r\n<em><img src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/klimanjaro-7.jpg\" alt=\"\" />\r\n</em>\r\n\r\nTen years ago, while doing volunteer medical work in Honduras, a nurse told me that she and her husband had just climbed Mount Kilimanjaro.  Upon returning to the States, I requested a brochure, and it has been sitting on my coffee table for the past ten years.  This year, I finally decided it was about time to climb Kilimanjaro.\r\n\r\n<h5>Arrival</h5>\r\n<img src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/klimanjaro-8.jpg\" alt=\"\" />\r\n\r\nAfter flying from Los Angeles to London and then to Nairobi, the plane finally arrived at the Kilimanjaro airport. A two-and-a-half-hour ride followed that flight, and half of it was on a very bumpy dirt road, before reaching the base camp destination. By now it was almost midnight, and I went straight to my tent, which amazingly was quite luxurious considering it was camping. It even included a sink, a bathroom and even a shower. I took advantage of a quick shower and went straight to bed.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/Day-1-Kiliminaro-and-base-camp-arrival\"><strong>See Photos</strong></a>\r\n\r\n<h5>Pre-Climb Hike</h5>\r\n<img src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/klimanjaro-9.jpg\" alt=\"\" />\r\n\r\nAfter a nice breakfast, where I met the other climbers and our trek leaders, we went for a short two-hour hike just to see the local terrain and loosen our legs.\r\nIt was beautiful, with waterfalls and lots of lush plants and greenery. Later, the head guide went through my entire pack to make sure that we would be taking all we needed and that everything was in good shape. The rest of the day was spent relaxing, except for a short sunset hike of 10 minutes, where they had wine waiting for us at the top of the small hill.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://www.thegeminigeeks.com/server1/Finally-hiking\"><strong>See Photos</strong></a>\r\n\r\n<h5>First Day Hike</h5>\r\n<img src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/klimanjaro-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" />\r\n\r\nAfter a two hour ride, we arrived at the check-in point. The weather was hot enough to wear shorts and t-shirts, since we were only 3 degrees north of the equator. There we saw the more than 45 plus Sherpas that would accompany us. There were six Sherpa alone just to carry each person\'s equipment (there were six of us). Additionally, six Sherpa would carry our food for seven days, eight of them made up the kitchen team, another team of two would carry the oxygen and medicine, plus about ten other Porters would carry all the tents, tables and chairs. There were also ten more to carry all of the other Porters’ food and equipment.\r\n\r\nWe had to register and show our passports, and after that we took a short 20-minute drive to the trailhead. Arriving at noon, a very nice, well-prepared lunch was ready for us. We started the hike at 7,700 feet and climbed to 9,300 feet. The area was mostly jungle-like, with a lot of fantastic plants, birds and other exotic wildlife, including Colobus monkeys and other animals. When we arrived at the camp at 9,300 feet, the tents were already set up, and we unpacked our gear in each individual tent, had dinner and went to sleep.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://www.thegeminigeeks.com/server1/Kili-Getting-to-the-trailhead\"><strong>See Photos</strong></a>\r\n\r\n<h5>Second Day Hike</h5>\r\nAt 6:30AM we were woken up with a hot bowl of water to wash up and get ready for the day. A very full breakfast was prepared for us and afterwards we started off to hike again. We headed off on our hike up to 11,400 feet, crossing from the Montane Forest into the Hagenia Zone, where we saw many different plants and beautiful trees throughout the canyon.\r\nFor this type of hiking, it’s important to eat three square meals a day and drink a minimum of three liters of water daily for the required energy and for prevention of dehydration. I fortunately felt pretty good, as I had taken Diamox, a medicine to help prevent altitude sickness. In addition, I carried a Camelback system on my back, which is a water bag with tubing for drinking kept inside of my backpack, enabling me to drink copious amounts of water and stay hydrated. It was cold at night, but with the proper gear I felt warm.\r\n\r\n<h5>Day Three Hike</h5>\r\nWe had another early wake-up call and a good breakfast. We hiked across a large plateau and gained about 2,100 feet in altitude. It was very interesting as we passed into the Upper Heath Zone, because there were no longer any trees there, just a lot of different plants as well as volcanic rock, since the last active volcano took place there over 10,000 years ago.\r\n\r\nThe hiking was very slow and consistent, which in Swahili they call, “Polli, Polli.” Again, I felt very good when arriving at Moir Camp at 13,500 feet. We had beautiful views on the mountain as the clouds moved away. It was really spectacular!\r\n\r\n<h5>Day Four Hike</h5>\r\n<img src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/klimanjaro-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" />\r\n\r\nWe woke up again at 6:30AM, had breakfast at 7 and were hiking by 7:30. We had a shorter hike of only 3.1 miles, but we did climb 2,000 feet. It was slow in some parts and the steep sections were even slower. Finally, we arrived in camp after hiking only 2 hours and 20 minutes to an elevation of 15,500 feet. The air was very thin at this elevation, and you think about every single step you take. But when we arrived at camp, everything seemed to settle down. During the afternoon there was a hale storm that turned into snow, so everybody went into their tents.  I took about a 3-hour well-needed nap. After a good dinner, we all went to bed, but not until we viewed the magnificent skies at 15,500 feet in the southern hemisphere.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://www.thegeminigeeks.com/server1/Kili-Hiking-to-15000-feet\"><strong>See Photos</strong></a>\r\n\r\n<h5>Day Five Hike</h5>\r\n<img src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/klimanjaro-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" />\r\n\r\nWe had the usual wake-up call at 6:30AM and were on the road by 7:30. It snowed during the night, but only half an inch or so, making everything white and beautiful. The good news is this meant it was right around 32 degrees, and with the sun out, we were warm when we hiked but a little bit cooler when clouds were overhead. The hike was only one thousand feet of climbing, and a short hike to the base camp. Tomorrow’s big hike will only be about an hour and 20 minutes, but it will be over a lot of rocks and boulders and will be steep in some places. We arrived at the base camp around 10:30 - 11 in the morning. We were supposed to go for a short hike from there without our packs but it started snowing for over an hour, so that was cancelled. Tomorrow morning we will have a 4AM wake-up call in anticipation of a 2,300 foot elevation climb up to18,650 feet.\r\n\r\n<h5>Day Six Hike</h5>\r\n<img src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/klimanjaro-6.jpg\" alt=\"\" />\r\n\r\nWake-up call at 4AM and breakfast at 4:30. The slower hiker group left at 5. We left about 5:30. At this point, the altitude is over 16,000 feet, and everyone moves very slowly. The first little part was steep and slightly snow-covered, but then it became extremely steep and no longer covered in snow. We climbed 2,400 feet over 2.6 miles. The first hour was in the dark, but we all had headlights. It was very rocky and we had to use our hands sometimes to climb. We ran into a few other tours on the trail and all of us had to cut across a mountain side since the snow had obliterated the trail the night before. We were now at over 17, 000 feet. One of the guides from another tour (all the guides know each other) had a pickaxe and so he chopped thru the snow to make it easier for our footing. Even so, it was very slippery. There were times we had to use all four extremities to climb and even needed to kneel on the next step up because the following step was too high to reach with our foot. Breathing was becoming more and more labored and it was difficult to catch our breath in the thinning air. When we stopped at 18,000 feet for a snack and water, we thought the worst was over, but that wasn’t the case. The next 500 feet were very rocky and slippery, and that along with the very thin air, meant we could only take three or four steps before needing to stop for a break. Finally, we reached Craters Ridge and were very happy. These are remnants of glaciers that once covered this entire valley. The whole valley was snow-covered and looked like we were walking in a desert. When we arrived, we were not allowed to lie down in our tents for about a good hour because we needed to let our bodies acclimate to the thin air at 18,600 feet. Once we did that, we were able to enjoy a well-deserved nap before an early dinner because we would be getting up again at 4AM to climb to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro!\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://www.thegeminigeeks.com/server1/16-500-feet-to-18-400\"><strong>See Photos</strong></a>\r\n\r\n<h5>Day Seven Hike</h5>\r\n<img src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/klimanjaro-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" />\r\n\r\nThe night was extremely cold, with ground temperatures dropping down to about zero degrees Fahrenheit. We did everything to keep ourselves warm. I slept on two thin air mattresses, and to stay warmer, laid my down jacket on top of my sleeping bag which was rated to zero degrees. It also had a liner inside which gave me an additional 25 degrees of warmth.\r\n\r\nWe were woken up at 4 AM. After eating and packing our stuff, we were off for a 75 minute climb, basically straight up and extremely cold. Fortunately, I had bought the best mittens ever and my hands were not cold. That was a miracle for me, because I usually always have cold hands and feet, even in Southern California! Nonetheless, my legs and face took the brunt of the cold, and we moved very, very slowly. After a very difficult, straight up climb, we had to cross a flat plane to the actual top of the mountain. It was really cold. The temperature was probably about minus 7 or 10 degrees Fahrenheit. The wind was blowing like crazy, at least 30 mph, and with the wind chill, it felt like negative 42 or 50 degrees Fahrenheit.\r\nBut all 6 of us had made it. It was a special feeling…an unbelievable feeling! Words are hard to describe it.  Yes, I had finally made it, and the views were spectacular!!\r\nI always carry some ashes of my parents no matter where I travel to in this world. And since this was a very special place, I quietly said a prayer, took off my mittens (brrr), and sprinkled some of their ashes at the top. They had made it with me the entire way.\r\n\r\nWe all took our pictures and then had to get going due to the intense winds and brutal cold. Fortunately, we summited very early and there were only one or two other groups at the top. Later on, there would be at least 50-100 people. We saw a gorgeous sunrise, since it was only about 7 in the morning. We were close to the equator, and sunrise and sunsets are always around the same time without much variation from season to season.\r\nOnce we started to go down, we could immediately feel the release of pressure in our lungs and chest. The descent and decreasing pressure made it a lot easier on our lungs, plus it was now all downhill. After an hour or two, our quadriceps muscles in the front of our upper legs really felt it, and we had downhill walking for the next 5 to 6 hours! We did stop for a small break for some lunch, but appetite was low due to the altitude. Several of the hikers experienced altitude sickness on the way up, with nausea, diarrhea, headaches and weakness.  I had none of that but did have loss of appetite and slight weakness going down for a short time.\r\n\r\nAnyway, we finally made it to the camp at 10,500 feet. The weather was really nice and a bit warmer, between about 45 to 50 degrees or more. What a difference from the night before! We all had a good meal and rested, as we had been hiking downhill for over 8 hours, and all of our legs were extremely tired.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://www.thegeminigeeks.com/server1/Hiking-to-the-summit-19-341-feet\"><strong>See Photos</strong></a>\r\n\r\n<h5>Day Eight Hike</h5>\r\nWe woke up at 6:30AM, which was a big difference from 4AM. Today would be our last night, and we would be saying goodbye to all the Porters. Only the guides would continue with us. I volunteered to be the spokesperson of the group, which meant I would be collecting the tip money and giving a short speech.\r\n\r\nAfter breakfast, the 40 or so Porters gathered around singing and dancing. I actually joined them in the dancing, which I have a video of. I was very tired, but it was still worth it. I gave a 3 minute speech thanking every one of them for all of their hard work and dedication, and telling them that their help, whether by carrying a table, carrying sleeping bags, setting up tents, preparing food and everything else they did for us, was all very special and helped us so much.\r\n\r\nWe then set off for our last 6 to 7 hour hike downhill. Although it was not very steep, this dried up river bed was full of rocks and stones, making footing uneasy, and causing our quadriceps muscles to be even more on fire. But we knew the end was coming, helping us to press forward. We stopped for lunch and continued on. After about 7 hours, the final spot was in sight…the area where we would exit the park. Nothing could be sweeter! I signed out at the Ranger Station and basically collapsed into the waiting truck. There were a lot of campers and hikers ending in this same area, so they drove us about 20 minutes away.\r\n\r\nWe had some lunch and then drove the rest of the way back to the lodge, a beautiful hotel about half an hour outside of Arusha on an old coffee plantation. Everybody had their own cabin. For the first time in 9 days I could take a shower. It was wonderful! Then we all gathered with the two guides and I said a few more words to represent the group. We had a nice dinner, and then two people left for the airport by 7PM. That night, was my first night sleep in a bed in nine days. It was fantastic! The mission was accomplished!\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://www.thegeminigeeks.com/server1/Sunrise-up-top-and-heading-down\"><strong>See Photos</strong></a>\r\n\r\n<h5>Postscript</h5>\r\n<img src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/klimanjaro-5.jpg\" alt=\"\" />\r\n\r\nEven though the trip was not exactly as described in the pamphlet that sat on my coffee table for ten years, it was something I had had on my bucket list for all of that time. The adventure was quite challenging and extremely difficult at times. Some of our hikers had difficulty even moving. It was so hard that they required assistance. But we all persevered. In my life, I’ve completed 10 Ironman races so far. These competitions require monumental training. But during this Mount Kilimanjaro trek, with the long hike up to the crater from 16,800 feet to 18,400, and the subsequent days of summiting, followed by the 9,000 foot descent, I faced some of the hardest things that I\'ve ever done. And that includes my ten Ironman competitions.\r\n\r\nYou just can\'t imagine what it\'s like trying to move at that altitude. It\'s similar to having a paper bag over your head and trying to breath. There were times I took two or three steps and then had to pause for 15, 20 or even 30 seconds, repeating that again and again and again.  Never looking ahead, only down, because sometimes ten feet took 30-60 seconds to cross.  All of this while enduring the sub-freezing temperature, the blowing snow and the wind chill factors. Nothing but grit and determination to kept us going.\r\nI\'ll continue to enjoy my Ironman triathlons and continue to do them as long as I can. But as far as hiking up a mountain to 19,341 feet, this will be my one and only time! It\'s a tremendous accomplishment, but something I would not want to repeat.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://www.thegeminigeeks.com/server1/Final-goodbyes-and-certificates\"><strong>See Photos</strong></a>\r\n\r\n<h5>Post Postscript</h5>\r\nThank you to everyone who sent me well wishes before, during, and after my climb.  It meant so much! I thank my parents who gave me the will and determination to achieve all of the goals in my life, no matter how hard they are. They always ingrained this determination in me and encouraged me to just put my head down and keep going. As I said above, they were with me the whole way and always will be.\r\n\r\n','Report of My Kilimanjaro Climb','','inherit','closed','closed','','2208-revision-v1','','','2019-06-28 06:29:08','2019-06-28 06:29:08','',2208,'https://www.drfields.com/uncategorized/2208-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(2230,8,'2019-06-28 06:30:44','2019-06-28 06:30:44','<h4>Report of My Kilimanjaro Climb</h4>\n<em>By Peter A. Fields, MD, DC</em>\n\n<em><img src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/klimanjaro-7.jpg\" alt=\"\" />\n</em>\n\nTen years ago, while doing volunteer medical work in Honduras, a nurse told me that she and her husband had just climbed Mount Kilimanjaro.  Upon returning to the States, I requested a brochure, and it has been sitting on my coffee table for the past ten years.  This year, I finally decided it was about time to climb Kilimanjaro.\n\n<h5>Arrival</h5>\n<img src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/klimanjaro-8.jpg\" alt=\"\" />\n\nAfter flying from Los Angeles to London and then to Nairobi, the plane finally arrived at the Kilimanjaro airport. A two-and-a-half-hour ride followed that flight, and half of it was on a very bumpy dirt road, before reaching the base camp destination. By now it was almost midnight, and I went straight to my tent, which amazingly was quite luxurious considering it was camping. It even included a sink, a bathroom and even a shower. I took advantage of a quick shower and went straight to bed.\n\n<a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/Day-1-Kiliminaro-and-base-camp-arrival\"><strong>See Photos</strong></a>\n\n<h5>Pre-Climb Hike</h5>\n<img src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/klimanjaro-9.jpg\" alt=\"\" />\n\nAfter a nice breakfast, where I met the other climbers and our trek leaders, we went for a short two-hour hike just to see the local terrain and loosen our legs.\nIt was beautiful, with waterfalls and lots of lush plants and greenery. Later, the head guide went through my entire pack to make sure that we would be taking all we needed and that everything was in good shape. The rest of the day was spent relaxing, except for a short sunset hike of 10 minutes, where they had wine waiting for us at the top of the small hill.\n\n<a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/Finally-hiking\"><strong>See Photos</strong></a>\n\n<h5>First Day Hike</h5>\n<img src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/klimanjaro-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" />\n\nAfter a two hour ride, we arrived at the check-in point. The weather was hot enough to wear shorts and t-shirts, since we were only 3 degrees north of the equator. There we saw the more than 45 plus Sherpas that would accompany us. There were six Sherpa alone just to carry each person\'s equipment (there were six of us). Additionally, six Sherpa would carry our food for seven days, eight of them made up the kitchen team, another team of two would carry the oxygen and medicine, plus about ten other Porters would carry all the tents, tables and chairs. There were also ten more to carry all of the other Porters’ food and equipment.\n\nWe had to register and show our passports, and after that we took a short 20-minute drive to the trailhead. Arriving at noon, a very nice, well-prepared lunch was ready for us. We started the hike at 7,700 feet and climbed to 9,300 feet. The area was mostly jungle-like, with a lot of fantastic plants, birds and other exotic wildlife, including Colobus monkeys and other animals. When we arrived at the camp at 9,300 feet, the tents were already set up, and we unpacked our gear in each individual tent, had dinner and went to sleep.\n\n<a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/Kili-Getting-to-the-trailhead\"><strong>See Photos</strong></a>\n\n<h5>Second Day Hike</h5>\nAt 6:30AM we were woken up with a hot bowl of water to wash up and get ready for the day. A very full breakfast was prepared for us and afterwards we started off to hike again. We headed off on our hike up to 11,400 feet, crossing from the Montane Forest into the Hagenia Zone, where we saw many different plants and beautiful trees throughout the canyon.\nFor this type of hiking, it’s important to eat three square meals a day and drink a minimum of three liters of water daily for the required energy and for prevention of dehydration. I fortunately felt pretty good, as I had taken Diamox, a medicine to help prevent altitude sickness. In addition, I carried a Camelback system on my back, which is a water bag with tubing for drinking kept inside of my backpack, enabling me to drink copious amounts of water and stay hydrated. It was cold at night, but with the proper gear I felt warm.\n\n<h5>Day Three Hike</h5>\nWe had another early wake-up call and a good breakfast. We hiked across a large plateau and gained about 2,100 feet in altitude. It was very interesting as we passed into the Upper Heath Zone, because there were no longer any trees there, just a lot of different plants as well as volcanic rock, since the last active volcano took place there over 10,000 years ago.\n\nThe hiking was very slow and consistent, which in Swahili they call, “Polli, Polli.” Again, I felt very good when arriving at Moir Camp at 13,500 feet. We had beautiful views on the mountain as the clouds moved away. It was really spectacular!\n\n<h5>Day Four Hike</h5>\n<img src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/klimanjaro-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" />\n\nWe woke up again at 6:30AM, had breakfast at 7 and were hiking by 7:30. We had a shorter hike of only 3.1 miles, but we did climb 2,000 feet. It was slow in some parts and the steep sections were even slower. Finally, we arrived in camp after hiking only 2 hours and 20 minutes to an elevation of 15,500 feet. The air was very thin at this elevation, and you think about every single step you take.

Fields, MD, DC</em>\r\n\r\n<em><img src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/klimanjaro-7.jpg\" alt=\"\" />\r\n</em>\r\n\r\nTen years ago, while doing volunteer medical work in Honduras, a nurse told me that she and her husband had just climbed Mount Kilimanjaro.  Upon returning to the States, I requested a brochure, and it has been sitting on my coffee table for the past ten years.  This year, I finally decided it was about time to climb Kilimanjaro.\r\n\r\n<h5>Arrival</h5>\r\n<img src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/klimanjaro-8.jpg\" alt=\"\" />\r\n\r\nAfter flying from Los Angeles to London and then to Nairobi, the plane finally arrived at the Kilimanjaro airport. A two-and-a-half-hour ride followed that flight, and half of it was on a very bumpy dirt road, before reaching the base camp destination. By now it was almost midnight, and I went straight to my tent, which amazingly was quite luxurious considering it was camping. It even included a sink, a bathroom and even a shower. I took advantage of a quick shower and went straight to bed.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/Day-1-Kiliminaro-and-base-camp-arrival\"><strong>See Photos</strong></a>\r\n\r\n<h5>Pre-Climb Hike</h5>\r\n<img src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/klimanjaro-9.jpg\" alt=\"\" />\r\n\r\nAfter a nice breakfast, where I met the other climbers and our trek leaders, we went for a short two-hour hike just to see the local terrain and loosen our legs.\r\nIt was beautiful, with waterfalls and lots of lush plants and greenery. Later, the head guide went through my entire pack to make sure that we would be taking all we needed and that everything was in good shape. The rest of the day was spent relaxing, except for a short sunset hike of 10 minutes, where they had wine waiting for us at the top of the small hill.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/Finally-hiking\"><strong>See Photos</strong></a>\r\n\r\n<h5>First Day Hike</h5>\r\n<img src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/klimanjaro-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" />\r\n\r\nAfter a two hour ride, we arrived at the check-in point. The weather was hot enough to wear shorts and t-shirts, since we were only 3 degrees north of the equator. There we saw the more than 45 plus Sherpas that would accompany us. There were six Sherpa alone just to carry each person\'s equipment (there were six of us). Additionally, six Sherpa would carry our food for seven days, eight of them made up the kitchen team, another team of two would carry the oxygen and medicine, plus about ten other Porters would carry all the tents, tables and chairs. There were also ten more to carry all of the other Porters’ food and equipment.\r\n\r\nWe had to register and show our passports, and after that we took a short 20-minute drive to the trailhead. Arriving at noon, a very nice, well-prepared lunch was ready for us. We started the hike at 7,700 feet and climbed to 9,300 feet. The area was mostly jungle-like, with a lot of fantastic plants, birds and other exotic wildlife, including Colobus monkeys and other animals. When we arrived at the camp at 9,300 feet, the tents were already set up, and we unpacked our gear in each individual tent, had dinner and went to sleep.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/Kili-Getting-to-the-trailhead\"><strong>See Photos</strong></a>\r\n\r\n<h5>Second Day Hike</h5>\r\nAt 6:30AM we were woken up with a hot bowl of water to wash up and get ready for the day. A very full breakfast was prepared for us and afterwards we started off to hike again. We headed off on our hike up to 11,400 feet, crossing from the Montane Forest into the Hagenia Zone, where we saw many different plants and beautiful trees throughout the canyon.\r\nFor this type of hiking, it’s important to eat three square meals a day and drink a minimum of three liters of water daily for the required energy and for prevention of dehydration. I fortunately felt pretty good, as I had taken Diamox, a medicine to help prevent altitude sickness. In addition, I carried a Camelback system on my back, which is a water bag with tubing for drinking kept inside of my backpack, enabling me to drink copious amounts of water and stay hydrated. It was cold at night, but with the proper gear I felt warm.\r\n\r\n<h5>Day Three Hike</h5>\r\nWe had another early wake-up call and a good breakfast. We hiked across a large plateau and gained about 2,100 feet in altitude. It was very interesting as we passed into the Upper Heath Zone, because there were no longer any trees there, just a lot of different plants as well as volcanic rock, since the last active volcano took place there over 10,000 years ago.\r\n\r\nThe hiking was very slow and consistent, which in Swahili they call, “Polli, Polli.” Again, I felt very good when arriving at Moir Camp at 13,500 feet. We had beautiful views on the mountain as the clouds moved away. It was really spectacular!\r\n\r\n<h5>Day Four Hike</h5>\r\n<img src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/klimanjaro-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" />\r\n\r\nWe woke up again at 6:30AM, had breakfast at 7 and were hiking by 7:30. We had a shorter hike of only 3.1 miles, but we did climb 2,000 feet. It was slow in some parts and the steep sections were even slower. Finally, we arrived in camp after hiking only 2 hours and 20 minutes to an elevation of 15,500 feet. The air was very thin at this elevation, and you think about every single step you take. But when we arrived at camp, everything seemed to settle down. During the afternoon there was a hale storm that turned into snow, so everybody went into their tents.  I took about a 3-hour well-needed nap. After a good dinner, we all went to bed, but not until we viewed the magnificent skies at 15,500 feet in the southern hemisphere.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/Kili-Hiking-to-15000-feet\"><strong>See Photos</strong></a>\r\n\r\n<h5>Day Five Hike</h5>\r\n<img src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/klimanjaro-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" />\r\n\r\nWe had the usual wake-up call at 6:30AM and were on the road by 7:30. It snowed during the night, but only half an inch or so, making everything white and beautiful. The good news is this meant it was right around 32 degrees, and with the sun out, we were warm when we hiked but a little bit cooler when clouds were overhead. The hike was only one thousand feet of climbing, and a short hike to the base camp. Tomorrow’s big hike will only be about an hour and 20 minutes, but it will be over a lot of rocks and boulders and will be steep in some places. We arrived at the base camp around 10:30 - 11 in the morning. We were supposed to go for a short hike from there without our packs but it started snowing for over an hour, so that was cancelled. Tomorrow morning we will have a 4AM wake-up call in anticipation of a 2,300 foot elevation climb up to18,650 feet.\r\n\r\n<h5>Day Six Hike</h5>\r\n<img src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/klimanjaro-6.jpg\" alt=\"\" />\r\n\r\nWake-up call at 4AM and breakfast at 4:30. The slower hiker group left at 5. We left about 5:30. At this point, the altitude is over 16,000 feet, and everyone moves very slowly. The first little part was steep and slightly snow-covered, but then it became extremely steep and no longer covered in snow. We climbed 2,400 feet over 2.6 miles. The first hour was in the dark, but we all had headlights. It was very rocky and we had to use our hands sometimes to climb. We ran into a few other tours on the trail and all of us had to cut across a mountain side since the snow had obliterated the trail the night before. We were now at over 17, 000 feet. One of the guides from another tour (all the guides know each other) had a pickaxe and so he chopped thru the snow to make it easier for our footing. Even so, it was very slippery. There were times we had to use all four extremities to climb and even needed to kneel on the next step up because the following step was too high to reach with our foot. Breathing was becoming more and more labored and it was difficult to catch our breath in the thinning air. When we stopped at 18,000 feet for a snack and water, we thought the worst was over, but that wasn’t the case. The next 500 feet were very rocky and slippery, and that along with the very thin air, meant we could only take three or four steps before needing to stop for a break. Finally, we reached Craters Ridge and were very happy. These are remnants of glaciers that once covered this entire valley. The whole valley was snow-covered and looked like we were walking in a desert. When we arrived, we were not allowed to lie down in our tents for about a good hour because we needed to let our bodies acclimate to the thin air at 18,600 feet. Once we did that, we were able to enjoy a well-deserved nap before an early dinner because we would be getting up again at 4AM to climb to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro!\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/16-500-feet-to-18-400\"><strong>See Photos</strong></a>\r\n\r\n<h5>Day Seven Hike</h5>\r\n<img src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/klimanjaro-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" />\r\n\r\nThe night was extremely cold, with ground temperatures dropping down to about zero degrees Fahrenheit. We did everything to keep ourselves warm. I slept on two thin air mattresses, and to stay warmer, laid my down jacket on top of my sleeping bag which was rated to zero degrees. It also had a liner inside which gave me an additional 25 degrees of warmth.\r\n\r\nWe were woken up at 4 AM. After eating and packing our stuff, we were off for a 75 minute climb, basically straight up and extremely cold. Fortunately, I had bought the best mittens ever and my hands were not cold. That was a miracle for me, because I usually always have cold hands and feet, even in Southern California! Nonetheless, my legs and face took the brunt of the cold, and we moved very, very slowly. After a very difficult, straight up climb, we had to cross a flat plane to the actual top of the mountain. It was really cold. The temperature was probably about minus 7 or 10 degrees Fahrenheit. The wind was blowing like crazy, at least 30 mph, and with the wind chill, it felt like negative 42 or 50 degrees Fahrenheit.\r\nBut all 6 of us had made it. It was a special feeling…an unbelievable feeling! Words are hard to describe it.  Yes, I had finally made it, and the views were spectacular!!\r\nI always carry some ashes of my parents no matter where I travel to in this world. And since this was a very special place, I quietly said a prayer, took off my mittens (brrr), and sprinkled some of their ashes at the top. They had made it with me the entire way.\r\n\r\nWe all took our pictures and then had to get going due to the intense winds and brutal cold. Fortunately, we summited very early and there were only one or two other groups at the top. Later on, there would be at least 50-100 people. We saw a gorgeous sunrise, since it was only about 7 in the morning. We were close to the equator, and sunrise and sunsets are always around the same time without much variation from season to season.\r\nOnce we started to go down, we could immediately feel the release of pressure in our lungs and chest. The descent and decreasing pressure made it a lot easier on our lungs, plus it was now all downhill. After an hour or two, our quadriceps muscles in the front of our upper legs really felt it, and we had downhill walking for the next 5 to 6 hours! We did stop for a small break for some lunch, but appetite was low due to the altitude. Several of the hikers experienced altitude sickness on the way up, with nausea, diarrhea, headaches and weakness.  I had none of that but did have loss of appetite and slight weakness going down for a short time.\r\n\r\nAnyway, we finally made it to the camp at 10,500 feet. The weather was really nice and a bit warmer, between about 45 to 50 degrees or more. What a difference from the night before! We all had a good meal and rested, as we had been hiking downhill for over 8 hours, and all of our legs were extremely tired.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/Hiking-to-the-summit-19-341-feet\"><strong>See Photos</strong></a>\r\n\r\n<h5>Day Eight Hike</h5>\r\nWe woke up at 6:30AM, which was a big difference from 4AM. Today would be our last night, and we would be saying goodbye to all the Porters. Only the guides would continue with us. I volunteered to be the spokesperson of the group, which meant I would be collecting the tip money and giving a short speech.\r\n\r\nAfter breakfast, the 40 or so Porters gathered around singing and dancing. I actually joined them in the dancing, which I have a video of. I was very tired, but it was still worth it. I gave a 3 minute speech thanking every one of them for all of their hard work and dedication, and telling them that their help, whether by carrying a table, carrying sleeping bags, setting up tents, preparing food and everything else they did for us, was all very special and helped us so much.\r\n\r\nWe then set off for our last 6 to 7 hour hike downhill. Although it was not very steep, this dried up river bed was full of rocks and stones, making footing uneasy, and causing our quadriceps muscles to be even more on fire. But we knew the end was coming, helping us to press forward. We stopped for lunch and continued on. After about 7 hours, the final spot was in sight…the area where we would exit the park. Nothing could be sweeter! I signed out at the Ranger Station and basically collapsed into the waiting truck. There were a lot of campers and hikers ending in this same area, so they drove us about 20 minutes away.\r\n\r\nWe had some lunch and then drove the rest of the way back to the lodge, a beautiful hotel about half an hour outside of Arusha on an old coffee plantation. Everybody had their own cabin. For the first time in 9 days I could take a shower. It was wonderful! Then we all gathered with the two guides and I said a few more words to represent the group. We had a nice dinner, and then two people left for the airport by 7PM. That night, was my first night sleep in a bed in nine days. It was fantastic! The mission was accomplished!\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/Sunrise-up-top-and-heading-down\"><strong>See Photos</strong></a>\r\n\r\n<h5>Postscript</h5>\r\n<img src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/klimanjaro-5.jpg\" alt=\"\" />\r\n\r\nEven though the trip was not exactly as described in the pamphlet that sat on my coffee table for ten years, it was something I had had on my bucket list for all of that time. The adventure was quite challenging and extremely difficult at times. Some of our hikers had difficulty even moving. It was so hard that they required assistance. But we all persevered. In my life, I’ve completed 10 Ironman races so far. These competitions require monumental training. But during this Mount Kilimanjaro trek, with the long hike up to the crater from 16,800 feet to 18,400, and the subsequent days of summiting, followed by the 9,000 foot descent, I faced some of the hardest things that I\'ve ever done. And that includes my ten Ironman competitions.\r\n\r\nYou just can\'t imagine what it\'s like trying to move at that altitude. It\'s similar to having a paper bag over your head and trying to breath. There were times I took two or three steps and then had to pause for 15, 20 or even 30 seconds, repeating that again and again and again.  Never looking ahead, only down, because sometimes ten feet took 30-60 seconds to cross.  All of this while enduring the sub-freezing temperature, the blowing snow and the wind chill factors. Nothing but grit and determination to kept us going.\r\nI\'ll continue to enjoy my Ironman triathlons and continue to do them as long as I can. But as far as hiking up a mountain to 19,341 feet, this will be my one and only time! It\'s a tremendous accomplishment, but something I would not want to repeat.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/Final-goodbyes-and-certificates\"><strong>See Photos</strong></a>\r\n\r\n<h5>Post Postscript</h5>\r\nThank you to everyone who sent me well wishes before, during, and after my climb.  It meant so much! I thank my parents who gave me the will and determination to achieve all of the goals in my life, no matter how hard they are. They always ingrained this determination in me and encouraged me to just put my head down and keep going. As I said above, they were with me the whole way and always will be.\r\n\r\n','Report of My Kilimanjaro Climb','','inherit','closed','closed','','2208-revision-v1','','','2019-06-28

Even though neck instability alone can generate a host of symptoms, there are occasions when the neck and the shoulder are both involved in eliciting pain and symptoms. Shoulder pain can also be complicated, because the joint is so flexible, making it more prone to injuries. But the interconnected duo can add to the complexity. In cases where both areas are involved, neck pain can refer to the shoulder due to the various joint attachments. If only the shoulder is treated, inadequate healing may occur due to the connection with the neck, which may need to be treated as well. An awareness of the interplay needs to be considered in treatment plans of those with neck and shoulder pain.\r\n\r\n<h4>What Happens with Neck Instability?</h4>\r\nWhen the neck or cervical spine is stable, it moves and functions normally. The neck remains in proper physiologic alignment, which protects the blood vessels, nerves and spinal cord. The neck has seven cervical vertebrae, with facet joints adjoining them, which help the neck to be flexible, bend, and twist. Nerves exit the spinal cord through these joint on their way to other parts of the body. If the ligaments become injured, these facet joints can get too much movement, which leads to neck instability. At this point, the cervical spine or neck has difficulty handling the demands placed upon it and the support becomes inadequate. A cycle of imbalance is created, generating changes in the alignment of the vertebrae of the neck and the adjacent joint structures. It’s not unlike a wobbly bicycle wheel that will eventually make the handle bar turn, and create a situation where riding is incredibly difficult. Increased motion in the facets will increase motion between the adjacent vertebrae and eventually the adjacent joint structures, including the shoulder joint. All of this extra motion causes excessive stress on the ligaments that are trying to support these structures. With this abnormal movement of the joints, the nerve endings within those structures will elicit pain and a variety of symptoms will be experienced.\r\n\r\n<h4>More about the Shoulder</h4>\r\nThe shoulder is one of the most flexible joints in the body. It’s a ball and socket joint, with a huge range of motion. The mobility and flexibility are great things, and come in very handy for all of the sports and activities they help us to perform. But when we use the shoulder over and over, the wear and tear from the repetitive movements or the damage from a current or previous injury can cause the supporting ring of ligaments in the shoulder to become too loose, allowing for excessive movement in the shoulder. Just like the neck, the extra movement will eventually lead to pain and make the shoulder susceptibility to further injury. The muscles that move the shoulder are called the rotator cuff muscles. When the ligaments of the shoulder are injured, these muscles are then called upon to try and keep the shoulder stable. The muscles will spasm from overuse, and they too will eventually fatigue, which may possibly lead to tears of the rotator cuff or injury to other joint structures.\r\n\r\n<h4>The Interconnectedness of the Shoulder and the Neck</h4>\r\nThe neck and shoulder are interconnected via joint structures and attachments, and this is why injury to one of them can affect the other. The anatomy of the neck and shoulder involves muscles and other soft tissue that overlap. When pain in these areas is experienced, it is essential to have a skilled clinician who can examine the structures and discern where the pain is coming from. It is very important to physically examine the patient, and carry out a functional exam. At times, if an MRI is ordered, only one of these areas (rather than both), will be imaged, and the root problem might be missed. The underlying problem may very well be injured tendons and ligaments.  The ligaments become unstable at some point, which causes the tendons to wear out. For example, a patient may be seen due to an MRI that shows they have shoulder spurs. But the spurs may not be what are producing the pain. When the area is examined by the physician, the underlying problems generating the pain may be the supra and infraspinatus tendons, which have become weakened by taking up the slack which originated from injured ligaments.\r\n\r\nThe ligament injuries may be old injuries in the shoulder or neck structures, which occurred earlier in life, such as from a sports injury, fall, or motor vehicle accident. The ligament injury could also be an overuse injury, such as that produced by prolonged overhead activities/swings, poor posture, or forward head positioning from repetitive mobile device usage. These injuries progress to unrelenting pain conditions, which may be helped temporarily by various therapies, but which often remain unresolved, because many conventional therapies are unable to heal ligament injuries. Tendons and ligaments have difficulty healing as a result of having a poor blood supply. Fortunately, Regenerative Orthopedic therapies, such as Stem Cell Therapy, PRP, and Prolotherapy repair structures like ligaments, tendons, and the rotator cuff, by increasing the blood supply to these structures and by giving the body, which has great reparative capabilities, the boost to heal itself. These regenerative options are a huge piece of the puzzle in helping people get better.\r\nShoulder, neck pain and instability can be successfully addressed with Regenerative Orthopedic techniques. This natural injection therapy strengthens loose and unstable joints and their ligaments and other soft tissue, creating more stable, strong, and pain-free movement in both the neck and the shoulder.','Neck and Shoulder Pain May Be Interconnected','','publish','closed','closed','','neck-and-shoulder-pain-may-be-interconnected','','','2019-06-28 07:23:03','2019-06-28 07:23:03','',0,'https://www.drfields.com/?page_id=2319',0,'page','',0),(2320,8,'2019-06-28 07:23:03','2019-06-28 07:23:03','<h4>Neck and Shoulder Pain May Be Interconnected </h4>\r\n\r\nInjury to the ligaments of the neck can cause many types of aggravating and even disabling symptoms due to the multifaceted issues that stem from the instability that occurs in the neck when these ligaments are injured.

class=\"col-md-8\">\r\n<h2>Non-Surgical Repair of Ligaments and Tendons</h2>\r\nAre you looking for a non-surgical treatment option for your joint injury?\r\n\r\nJoint repair using PRP is an exciting and cutting edge therapy for the stimulation of tissue repair and the regeneration of weakened, torn, or damaged ligaments and tendons.\r\n\r\n<strong>PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) treatments are effective non-surgical options for joint injury repair.</strong> This non-surgical treatment is a great way for patients to avoid the pain, complications, and recovery time associated with joint surgery.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-1685\" src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Stem-Cell-Doctor-Peter-Fields-MD-DC-1.jpg\" alt=\"Stem Cell Doctor Peter Fields Md Dc\" width=\"176\" height=\"280\" />If you’ve been told by an orthopedic surgeon that <strong>you need surgery</strong> to repair your damaged joint, you may be facing a hospital visit, general anesthesia, risks of complications, weeks or months of limited ability on crutches or in a cast, and <strong>up to a year of recovery and physical therapy</strong> before the surgeon says things might be “normal” again.\r\n\r\nBefore you commit to a surgery that you may regret from the very first day, you should know <strong>that there IS an alternative to joint surgery</strong> that has none of those disadvantages.\r\n<h3>Non-Surgical Repair by Peter A. Fields, MD, DC</h3>\r\n<strong>My name is Dr. Peter A. Fields</strong>, and I am a leading expert in Regenerative Orthopedics and uniquely degreed as both an MD and a Doctor of Chiropractic. I’m here to tell you that in many cases, you do NOT need to have surgery to repair a severely damaged ligament, tendon, labrum, or meniscus and the pain that goes with it.\r\n\r\nMy treatments have helped thousands of people resume their normal lives without joint surgery, and there’s a very good chance that I can do the same for you.\r\n\r\nI am a specialist in a natural, non-surgical method of assisting the body to heal injured tendons and ligaments called <strong>Regenerative Orthopedics</strong>. These treatments help your body to regenerate and repair the damage in your joint.\r\n<h3>What is Regenerative Orthopedics?</h3>\r\n<strong>Regenerative Orthopedics</strong> is a treatment that causes an increase in nutrient-rich blood cells in the affected area, causing your body to heal and strengthen injured or weakened ligaments, tendons or joints. Your own body does the work to grow healthy, strong and vibrant tissue. It’s incredibly effective.\r\n\r\nAs the tissue grows and strengthens, your joint begins to operate properly, and your pain (and the causes of your pain) dissipate. Many of my patients enjoy a <strong>permanent recovery</strong> from their symptoms and go back to living a normal life without joint pain.\r\n\r\nThat means you fix your joint problem and eliminate your pain with…\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><strong> NO hospital stay </strong></li>\r\n 	<li><strong> NO general anesthesia </strong></li>\r\n 	<li><strong> NO surgery </strong></li>\r\n 	<li><strong> NO surgical complications </strong></li>\r\n 	<li><strong> NO long recovery </strong></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h3>Platelet Rich Plasma for Joint Repair</h3>\r\n<img class=\"size-medium wp-image-4992 alignright\" src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/PRP.-500x375.jpeg\" alt=\"Prp.\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" />\r\n\r\n<strong>In certain joint injuries, we recommend PRP.</strong> PRP means “Platelet Rich Plasma”, and the therapy isolates the platelets from your own blood in a centrifuge, and then re-injects this “platelet rich plasma” -- with 7 to 10 times more concentrated growth factors -- where it’s needed. PRP is more effective in these severe situations and typically results in 80% to 85% reduction in joint pain and a similar increase in range of motion. And the results are permanent.\r\n\r\nIn addition to severe tendon and ligament tears, torn meniscus and torn labrum, PRP is also effective with torn achilles tendon, plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, and a long list of severe sports injuries in any joint.\r\n<h3>Are You A Candidate for PRP?</h3>\r\nLet’s get you on the path to recovery without joint surgery. <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/How-PRP-Repairs-Ligaments-and-Tendons-Without-Surgery#contact\">Contact my office today</a> or call me at <a href=\"tel:+[phone_raw]\">[phone]</a> and set up a consultation to find out if you are a candidate for PRP Prolotherapy.\r\n<div class=\"col-md-6\">\r\n\r\n<iframe src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/vQGBBEARjMk?rel=0&amp;wmode=opaque\" width=\"100%\" height=\"250\" frameborder=\"0\"></iframe>\r\n<div class=\"text-wrap\">\r\n<p class=\"video-text\">May - Knee - <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">NEW!</span></p>\r\nAfter a half marathon, May couldn’t even walk back to her car!

And the results are permanent.\r\n\r\nIn addition to severe tendon and ligament tears, torn meniscus and torn labrum, PRP is also effective with torn achilles tendon, plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, and a long list of severe sports injuries in any joint.\r\n\r\n<h4>Are You A Candidate for PRP Prolotherapy?</h4>\r\n\r\nLet’s get you on the path to recovery without joint surgery. <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/How-PRP-Repairs-Ligaments-and-Tendons-Without-Surgery#contact\">Contact my office today</a> or call me at <a href=\"tel:4243256695\">424-325-6695</a> and set up a consultation to find out if you are a candidate for PRP Prolotherapy.\r\n\r\n<div class=\"col-md-6\">\r\n<iframe src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/vQGBBEARjMk?rel=0&amp;wmode=opaque\" allow=\"autoplay; encrypted-media\" width=\"100%\" height=\"250\" frameborder=\"0\"></iframe>\r\n<div class=\"text-wrap\">\r\n<p class=\"video-text\"> May - Knee -&nbsp;<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">NEW!</span></p>\r\n<p>After a half marathon, May couldn’t even walk back to her car!

They have increased so much that, in the last ten years, knee replacements have more than doubled and hip replacements more than tripled. <sup>i</sup> As life expectancy increases, this number will continue to go up.\r\n\r\nArthritis is the most common cause of chronic knee and hip pain, and this condition eventually leads to joint replacement.\r\n<h4>Traditional Therapies for Joint Pain</h4>\r\nThe goal of traditional therapies is to decrease pain and improve function. Treatments, such as weight loss, exercise, physiotherapy, bracing, and orthotics, may help temporarily. But they are unfortunately unable to actually repair the joint instability or the source of pain.\r\n\r\nThe increased mechanical stress caused by injury to the ligaments, meniscus, labrum, and other joint structures, changes the way the joint functions. And that makes the joint unstable and even more susceptible to further soft tissue injury.\r\n<h4>What Is the Result of Joint Instability Left Unrepaired?</h4>\r\nWhen left unrepaired, the long-lasting effect of continual joint instability is arthritis. Again, many conventional treatments do not last in providing pain relief because they fail to repair the instability. And they are also unable to prevent the eventual joint replacement. The road to arthritis, and the ensuing joint replacement, can only be remedied when the problem of joint instability is addressed.\r\n\r\nNSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) and corticosteroid injections are conservative, non-surgical therapies generally recommended initially for pain alleviation. And although steroid injections and NSAIDs have been shown to be effective in decreasing inflammation and pain short-term, they do not reverse the disease.\r\n\r\nBut they do inhibit the properties of healing. And that\'s important to realize! For this reason, their use is cautioned in those who have joint injuries and arthritis. Interestingly, NSAIDs and corticosteroids have no beneficial effect on articular cartilage in arthritis. But instead, they accelerate the very disease for which they are most often used and prescribed. And they are a catalyst towards joint replacement.\r\n<h4>Did Researchers Just Find Out That Corticosteroids, Like Cortisone, Are Bad for Soft Tissue Healing?</h4>\r\nIt is interesting to point out that not long after doctors started injecting cortisone and other steroids into joints way back in the 1950s, reports of terrible joint diseases were already surfacing. And even back then, their intra-articular use was discouraged. Corticosteroid injections accelerate cartilage degeneration and joint destruction. Today, despite the dangers, cortisone use is widespread and has become the standard of care.\r\n\r\nWhat about the popular use of hyaluronic acid injections for joint pain? Unfortunately, those who do find some pain relief from hyaluronic acid, generally only experience short-term results. The use of hyaluronic acid injections, like Synvisc, are frequently designed to delay the inevitable joint replacement. Even the seemingly harmless RICE (rest, ice, compression and elevation) protocol has been rescinded by its author due to its detrimental effect on healing.\r\n<h4>Does Arthroscopic Surgery Prevent Joint Replacement?</h4>\r\nAn attempt to eliminate pain or a painful area by the arthroscopic shaving, cutting, or removal of tissue will only delay the pain for a few years until the remaining tissue becomes degenerated. And arthroscopy is a direct assault to the joint tissue. Arthroscopy, like the aforementioned treatments, may give some temporary relief of symptoms. But in the long-term, they will destabilize the joint and boost degeneration.\r\n\r\nIn the long-run, these surgeries can lead to even more surgeries and the eventual joint replacement. Athletes, who have surgical repair of injuries, like an ACL tear for example, have a low rate of return to sport, and a high rate of new injury. Surgery makes joint instability worse, not better.\r\n\r\nMany surgeries such as labral repair and ACL reconstruction can provide remarkable short-term pain relief. However, the replacement material will not function long-term like the original. And ACL grafts and labral repairs with titanium tacks just do not have the same pliability as the original tissue. They cannot restore the joint back to normal. Eventually, they will cause problems.\r\n\r\nThe athlete or any joint pain patient must realize that with each procedure and each shaving or cutting of tissue, NSAID prescription, or corticosteroid injection, the risk of developing long-term arthritis and the eventual joint replacement is greatly increased. The key to keeping the joint strong is to stimulate the area to heal.\r\n<h4>Regenerative Orthopedics Using Stem Cell Treatment Repairs the Joint</h4>\r\nRegenerative Orthopedics stimulates healing and repairs the joint, rather than interfering with the normal healing process of the body. At OrthoRegen<sup>®</sup>, we use the Gold Standard in Regenerative Orthopedics. And we use Stem Cells from bone marrow and from fat. Both are excellent sources of Stem Cells.\r\n\r\nPRP is then used to stimulate the growth of these Stem Cells and to repair the ligaments inside of the joint. The remaining Stem Cells that are left over are used along with Prolotherapy to treat the outside of the joint. That\'s where there are many tendons and ligaments that control the joint and keep it stabilized. All of this is known as the Gold Standard in Stem Cell treatment, and is the only procedure we use at OrthoRegen<sup>®</sup>.\r\n<h4>Types of Regenerative Orthopedics</h4>\r\nStem Cell treatments, PRP and Prolotherapy, are all types of Regenerative Orthopedics. And they are all effective at stimulating the normal reparative mechanisms of the body, laying down new collagen, strengthening the tendons and ligaments, repairing the meniscus of the knee, hip and shoulder labrum, and boosting the cartilage growth.\r\n\r\nThese treatments work to reduce the chance of long-term arthritis and the eventual joint replacement. Stem Cells, along with PRP and Prolotherapy, offer hope to those suffering from various types of joint pain and trying to avoid joint replacement.\r\n\r\nWhile surgery is necessary in a small percentage of patients, non-surgical regenerative therapies should be first-line, conservative treatments tried prior to surgery. The Gold Standard of Regenerative Orthopedics is effective even after surgery, when continued pain is experienced or for arthritis that was accelerated due to the surgery.\r\n\r\nKeep in mind that once surgery is done it cannot be undone!\r\n\r\n<hr />\r\n\r\n[i] Kim, S.

The increased mechanical stress caused by injury to the ligaments, meniscus, labrum, etc. changes the way the joint functions and makes the joint unstable and even more susceptible to further soft tissue injury.\r\n\r\nWhat is the result? When left unrepaired, the long-lasting effect of continual joint instability is arthritis. Again, many conventional treatments do not last in providing pain relief because they fail to repair the instability. They are also unable to prevent the eventual joint replacement. The road to arthritis, and the ensuing joint replacement, can only be remedied when the problem of joint instability is addressed.\r\n\r\nNSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) and corticosteroid injections are conservative, non-surgical therapies generally recommended initially for pain alleviation. Although steroid injections and NSAIDs have been shown to be effective in decreasing inflammation and pain short-term, they do not reverse the disease, but rather inhibit the properties of healing. For this reason, their use is cautioned in those who have joint injuries and arthritis. Interestingly, NSAIDs and corticosteroids have no beneficial effect on articular cartilage in arthritis, but rather accelerate the very disease for which they are most often used and prescribed, and are a catalyst towards joint replacement.\r\n\r\nIt is interesting to point out that not long after doctors started injecting cortisone and other steroids into joints way back in the 1950s, reports of terrible joint diseases were already surfacing, and even back then, their intra-articular use was discouraged. Corticosteroid injections accelerate cartilage degeneration and joint destruction. Today, despite the dangers, cortisone use is widespread and has become the standard of care.\r\n\r\nWhat about the popular use of hyaluronic acid injections for joint pain? Unfortunately, those who do find some pain relief from hyaluronic acid, generally only experience short-term results, which are frequently designed to delay the inevitable joint replacement. Even the seemingly harmless RICE (rest, ice, compression and elevation) protocol has been rescinded by its author due to its detrimental effect on healing.\r\n\r\n<h4>Does Arthroscopic Surgery Prevent Joint Replacement?</h4>\r\nAn attempt to eliminate pain or a painful area by the arthroscopic shaving, cutting, or removal of tissue will only delay the pain for a few years until the remaining tissue becomes degenerated. Arthroscopy is a direct assault to the joint tissue. Arthroscopy, like the aforementioned treatments, may give some temporary relief of symptoms, but in the long-term, will destabilize the joint and boost degeneration. In the long-run, these surgeries can lead to even more surgeries and the eventual joint replacement. Athletes, who have surgical repair of injuries, like an ACL tear for example, have a low rate of return to sport, and a high rate of new injury. Surgery makes joint instability worse, not better.\r\n\r\nMany surgeries such as labral repair and ACL reconstruction can provide remarkable short-term pain relief. However, the replacement material will not function long-term like the original. ACL grafts and labral repairs with titanium tacks just do not have the same pliability as the original tissue and cannot restore the joint back to normal. Eventually, they will cause problems. The athlete or any joint pain patient must realize that with each procedure and each shaving or cutting of tissue, NSAID prescription, or corticosteroid injection, the risk of developing long-term arthritis and the eventual joint replacement is greatly increased. The key to keeping the joint strong is to stimulate the area to heal.\r\n\r\n<h4>Regenerative Orthopedics Using Stem Cells Repairs the Joint</h4>\r\nRegenerative Orthopedics stimulates healing and repairs the joint, rather than interfering with the normal healing process of the body. At OrthoRegen, we use the Gold Standard in Regenerative Orthopedics.  We use Stem Cells from bone marrow and from fat.  Both are excellent sources of Stem Cells.  PRP is then used to stimulate the growth of these Stem Cells and to repair the ligaments inside of the joint.  The remaining Stem Cells that are left over are used along with Prolotherapy to treat the outside of the joint, where there are many tendons and ligaments that control the joint and keep it stabilized. All of this is known as the Gold Standard in Stem Cell treatment, and is the only procedure we use at OrthoRegen.\r\n\r\nStem Cell treatments, PRP and Prolotherapy, are types of Regenerative Orthopedics. They are all effective at stimulating the normal reparative mechanisms of the body, laying down new collagen, strengthening the tendons and ligaments, repairing the meniscus of the knee, hip and shoulder labrum, and boosting the cartilage growth. They work to reduce the chance of long-term arthritis and joint replacement. Stem Cells, along with PRP and Prolotherapy, offer hope to those suffering from various types of joint pain and trying to avoid joint replacement.\r\n\r\nWhile surgery is necessary in a small percentage of patients, non-surgical regenerative therapies should be first-line, conservative treatments tried prior to surgery.  The Gold Standard of Regenerative Orthopedics is effective even after surgery, when continued pain is experienced or for arthritis that was accelerated due to the surgery.\r\n\r\nOnce surgery is done it cannot be undone!\r\n\r\n<hr />\r\n\r\n[i] Kim, S.

Part of the reason is that knee injuries are so prevalent. Another reason is that quite often, the other treatments patients receive only provide temporary relief.\r\n\r\nWhen an injury is left untreated or when the treatment fails to adequately repair an injury, the knee becomes unstable. The instability sets the knee up for a cycle of abnormal joint motion. And that promotes knee degeneration which destroys the joint over time. The result? The knee is set up for the development of arthritis.\r\n\r\nIf you already have arthritis in your knee, we can help. Even if surgery has been recommended due to the advanced nature of your arthritis, there is a good chance we can help. Studies have shown the effectiveness of this non-surgical Stem Cell Therapy to treat knee arthritis. 1,2\r\n\r\nIf you have injured your meniscus or ACL, Regenerative Orthopedics is also an effective therapy capable of repairing the injury and stopping the cycle that leads to arthritis.\r\n\r\n<strong>And...Regenerative Orthopedics is also an ideal treatment for anyone looking to avoid knee replacement!</strong>\r\n<h3>The Healthy Knee vs. An Injured Knee</h3>\r\nLet\'s talk a bit about our knees. The knee is the largest joint in the body and one of the more complex joints. To accomplish all of the tasks the knee needs to do, many forces and stressors are placed on it.\r\n\r\nA healthy knee moves smoothly during walking activities. And it also moves smoothly when running, jumping, and turning. One of the most important keys to a healthy knee is maintaining stability in response to the forces placed upon it. When any part of the knee joint is injured, such as the bony configuration, muscles, menisci, joint capsule, or ligaments, the whole stability of the knee is disrupted. And that causes symptoms and pain!\r\n\r\nWhen knee injury does occur, Regenerative Orthopedics can stop the disruption and stabilize the knee again. The treatment does this by promoting the healing of unstable and weakened ligaments and other injured joint structures. The result is the elimination of pain associated with knee conditions caused by abnormal joint motion.\r\n<h3>What About Knee Arthritis Treatment?</h3>\r\nKnee pain is one of the most common reasons people seek out medical help. And knee osteoarthritis is a primary player. Arthritis impairs the mobility and activity level of those who suffer from it. If you suffer from it, you sure know the effect it has on your life.\r\n\r\nThe prevalence of knee pain increases with age and is affected by lifestyle factors, such as obesity and lack of exercise. People living with Arthritis deal with chronic pain, joint stiffness, structural damage, and the progressive loss of cartilage. The condition can be disabling.\r\n\r\n<strong>But did you know the pain of arthritis does not come from the cartilage?</strong> Even though cartilage loss plays a central role in arthritis, it is not the source of pain. How can that be? It\'s because cartilage tissue does not contain nerve fibers.\r\n<h5><em>Nerve Fibers and Pain</em></h5>\r\nThe tissues containing many nerve fibers include the ligaments, tendons, meniscus, joint capsule, synovium, and periosteum. Arthritis pain is due to injury to these types of tissue. Since soft tissue is mainly responsible for the smooth movement of the knee joint, when abnormal forces are placed on them, injury occurs that disrupts the balance between normal motion and instability. This is where the painful process begins.\r\n\r\n<strong>The nerve endings that cause pain are also present where the ligaments and tendons insert into the bone, and this area can become a source of ongoing knee pain. Regenerative Orthopedic treatments are often directed at these sites. And as such, they are recognized as one of the most effective non-surgical therapies to treat knee pain.</strong>\r\n<h5><em>Ligaments And Pain</em></h5>\r\nLigaments play a crucial role in the stability of the knee because they guide the motion of the knee joints and restrain excessive motion to prevent dislocation. Ligament injuries are also the most common form of a knee injury. Ligament injury then upsets and disrupts the balance in the motion of the knee joint.\r\n\r\nInjuries that result in ligament damage also commonly result in injury to other knee structures, such as the meniscus, tendons, and cartilage. As mentioned, these injuries can eventually lead to arthritis, which can transpire within a few years with severe injuries or possibly over decades if the injury is less severe.\r\n<h3>Regenerative Orthopedic Treatments Heal the Soft Tissue Injuries</h3>\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_4734\" align=\"alignright\" width=\"500\"]<img class=\"wp-image-4734 size-medium\" src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Stem.Joint_.KW_-500x375.jpeg\" alt=\"Stem.joint.kw\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" /> <strong>Non-Surgical Knee Arthritis Treatment &amp; Articular Defect Repair</strong>[/caption]\r\n\r\nAlthough many treatments may offer temporary pain relief, it is important to find a treatment that does more than chase the symptoms. And actual repair of the injured soft tissue is vital to restore normal motion to the knee joint.\r\n\r\nRegenerative Orthopedic treatment options, such as Stem Cell Therapy, Platelet Rich Plasma, and Prolotherapy, are effective therapies that do just that. These treatments stimulate healing of ligaments, tendons, and menisci and restore normal functioning of the knee joint, thus preventing the arthritic progression. In more advanced cases, the Gold Standard in Stem Cell Therapy can be used to promote the regeneration of articular cartilage.\r\n\r\nRegenerative Orthopedic treatments target and repair the structures generating the pain in knee arthritis, effectively resolving the pain. And Regenerative Orthopedic treatments give hope to arthritis sufferers because they provide not only pain relief but also joint repair, resulting in improved function and a better quality of life.\r\n\r\nStem Cell Therapy is an effective knee arthritis treatment as well as an articular cartilage defect repair.3 If you are suffering from knee arthritis pain, a knee injury, or even an articular cartilage defect, call us today.

Each joint has two menisci to balance the body weight evenly and keep the knee stable.\r\n\r\nMenisci are often damaged in people who are active in sports (running, biking, tennis, hiking, golf, soccer, football) and most other activities that involve the knees. And they can also develop degenerative tears over time as we age.\r\n\r\nSymptoms of torn menisci include pain and swelling in the knee which may be accompanied with a sensation of the knee “giving away”. There may also be difficulties straightening the leg which may be associated with a catching or locking sensation.\r\n<h4>The Old Treatment for Meniscus Tears</h4>\r\nTraditionally, torn menisci were repaired surgically. And that involved cutting the torn parts out. However, several studies have proven that this operation is not a good option for damaged menisci.\r\n\r\nMany people have had them even though their problem was not significant. Just using an MRI to ‘convince’ people to have surgery is not good medicine. History and physical exam are much more important.\r\n\r\nIn 2013, a study showed that meniscus surgery in patients without arthritis was no better than a fake surgical procedure. Another study published in the New England Journal of Medicine in 2012 revealed that on average patients who had meniscus surgery did not do any better than those who skipped the operation and just had physical therapy.\r\n\r\nAnd a study done in 2002 by Baylor College of Medicine revealed that debridement (cutting away the damaged parts) of knees with arthritis and degenerative menisci tears was no better than placebo. The latest study in this area revealed that operations for meniscus locking were no better than placebo.

And the hip labrum is a ring of cartilage that seals the ball and socket, and aids in providing movement between the leg and pelvis.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div class=\"t pg-1m0 pg-1x0 pg-1h3 pg-1ya pg-1ff1 pg-1fs1 pg-1fc0 pg-1sc0 pg-1ls0 pg-1ws0\">But we move our hips a lot and put them through high rates of wear. So more and more, hip injuries, including tears to the labrum, are becoming a source of pain and disability. Additionally, the excessive force required in different sports activities can push the hip and its labrum beyond their normal range, resulting in injur<span class=\"pg-1fc2 pg-1sc0\">y</span><span class=\"pg-1ff3 pg-1fs2 pg-1fc1\">.</span></div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div class=\"t pg-1m0 pg-1x0 pg-1h3 pg-1y11 pg-1ff1 pg-1fs1 pg-1fc0 pg-1sc0 pg-1ls0 pg-1ws0\"> The hip labrum also serves as a cushion and shock absorber to protect the hip and thigh bones. Damage or degeneration to the labrum will result in pain and instability of the hip joint. And labral tears can be caused by a sudden, specific injury or with repetitive motions that cause wear and tear type injuries.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<h3>Hip Labral Tear Symptoms</h3>\r\n<div class=\"t pg-1m0 pg-1x0 pg-1h3 pg-1y11 pg-1ff1 pg-1fs1 pg-1fc0 pg-1sc0 pg-1ls0 pg-1ws0\">Symptoms include varying degrees of pain, including pain deep in the groin, as well as clicking, popping, and a locking sensation in the hip joint.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div class=\"t pg-1m0 pg-1x0 pg-1h3 pg-1y11 pg-1ff1 pg-1fs1 pg-1fc0 pg-1sc0 pg-1ls0 pg-1ws0\">A labral tear in the hip destabilizes the hip joint and is associated with early onset arthritis. Overgrowth of bone will occur in an attempt to stabilize the area.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div class=\"t pg-1m0 pg-1x0 pg-1h3 pg-1y11 pg-1ff1 pg-1fs1 pg-1fc0 pg-1sc0 pg-1ls0 pg-1ws0\">Let’s explain this arthritis connection further! The disrupted balance in motion that transpires after the original injury causes an uneven weight distribution inside the joint. And that prompts the joint surfaces to rub roughly and then generate a breaking down of articular cartilage. That limits joint function and promotes bone loss and the eventual bony overgrowth of arthritis.</div>\r\n<h3>Treatment Options for Hip Labral Tears</h3>\r\nThe labrum has a poor blood supply. And this makes a tear or injury difficult to treat with conservative approaches since they are unable to repair the injured ligaments, torn labrum, or the resultant instability and imbalance caused by the injury. Standard therapeutic approaches such as pain medications, steroid injections, and arthroscopy, employed to address labral injuries, are often ineffective. That\'s because they are not reparative and do not heal the underlying cause of the problem, the injured ligaments, labrum, and hip instability.\r\n\r\nPhysical therapy can help strengthen the surrounding muscles. But it cannot repair the labrum or prevent further degeneration from the abnormal motion the injury has caused in the hip joint.\r\n<div>\r\n<h3>Pain Relief, Restoration of Hip Function and Stability with Regenerative Orthopedics</h3>\r\nRegenerative Orthopedics aims to address the soft tissue weakness that transpired during the original hip labral tear injury. The treatment also restores the normal function of the labrum, correcting the imbalance, and stimulating repair where the degeneration has occurred.\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n<div class=\"t pg-1m0 pg-1x0 pg-1h3 pg-1y28 pg-1ff1 pg-1fs1 pg-1fc0 pg-1sc0 pg-1ls0 pg-1ws0\">Non-Surgical Regenerative Orthopedics, including Stem Cell Therapy, PRP, and Prolotherapy are alternative modalities that can repair the injury and abnormal joint motion by stimulating the natural regenerative processes in and around the hip joint. The torn labrum and the involved injured ligaments are restored to a healthy state, which improves joint support and function, and reduces pain and symptoms.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div class=\"t pg-1m0 pg-1x0 pg-1h3 pg-1y28 pg-1ff1 pg-1fs1 pg-1fc0 pg-1sc0 pg-1ls0 pg-1ws0\">Degenerative conditions, such as hip labral tear injuries need regeneration. Regenerative Orthopedics repairs the labrum and supports the formation of cartilage in the hip environment. This regenerative therapy has been found effective for the treatment of labral injuries. And the non-surgical treatment involves the injection of natural substances into the degenerated hip to stimulate healing.</div>\r\n<h3>Cellular Therapies Such as PRP and Stem Cells</h3>\r\n<div class=\"t pg-1m0 pg-1x0 pg-1h3 pg-1y28 pg-1ff1 pg-1fs1 pg-1fc0 pg-1sc0 pg-1ls0 pg-1ws0\">Sometimes in the treatment of labral tears, cellular therapies such as <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/regenerative-techniques/prp-treatment/\">PRP</a> and <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/regenerative-techniques/stem-cell-treatment/\">Stem Cells</a> are also needed. Especially in very active people and athletes, or in conditions with more severe degeneration. These therapies involve the injection of an autologous preparation (from a person’s own blood, fat or bone marrow). The solution is then injected directly into the damaged joint, to accelerate the healing process in more severe cases of labral injury. The surrounding soft tissue would also be treated comprehensively.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>\r\n<div class=\"t pg-2m0 pg-2x0 pg-2h2 pg-2yc pg-2ff1 pg-2fs0 pg-2fc0 pg-2sc0 pg-2ls0 pg-2ws0\">Regenerative Orthopedics is a highly successful non-surgical option for hip labral tears. We recommend this choice before considering surgery since surgical removal of the labrum will make the joint more unstable. And surgery will limit labrum flexibility by stapling part of it down, making it even more susceptible to tears and future degeneration.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div class=\"t pg-2m0 pg-2x0 pg-2h2 pg-2yc pg-2ff1 pg-2fs0 pg-2fc0 pg-2sc0 pg-2ls0 pg-2ws0\">Most painful hip conditions begin with damage to the surrounding ligaments. And they progress into degenerative conditions like labral degeneration. Since the hip labrum along with the surrounding ligaments, provide most of the stability of the hip, all of these areas need to be treated. We have treated hip labrum tears successfully for many years at OrthoRegen<sup>®</sup>, and offer an effective and much-needed alternative to hip surgery in cases of hip labral tears.</div>\r\n</div>\r\n<a class=\"buttonlink\" href=\"/articles/regenerative-orthopedics/\"> Click here for more articles</a>','Hip Labral Tears?

So much so, that they are one of the most common injuries to the knee. Meniscal injuries are routinely treated with surgery, and many with meniscus injuries end up receiving some form of meniscectomy. Nearly 700,000 arthroscopic partial meniscectomies are performed annually in the US, at an estimated annual cost of $4 billion.<sup><a href=\"#_edn1\" name=\"_ednref1\">[i]</a></sup>  Is surgery of this type an effective way to treat meniscal injuries? Believe it or not, research shows that it is not! Several studies question the effectiveness of this procedure. One study found that almost half of patients who received non-operative treatment with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs improved well enough to avoid surgery.<sup><a href=\"#_edn2\" name=\"_ednref2\">[ii]</a></sup> Three other studies compared arthroscopic meniscectomies with sham surgeries. (A sham surgery is a faked surgical intervention that omits the step necessary for the surgery to be therapeutic.) What were the results?  They found no significant difference between meniscectomy and sham surgery, and they did not find meniscectomies to be effective.<sup><a href=\"#_edn3\" name=\"_ednref3\">[iii]</a></sup><sup>,<a href=\"#_edn4\" name=\"_ednref4\">[iv]</a></sup> Additionally, the most recent study showed the surgery did not reduce the mechanical symptoms of knee catching and locking.<sup><a href=\"#_edn5\" name=\"_ednref5\">[v]</a></sup> As you can see, the effectiveness of meniscectomies is questionable.\r\n\r\n<strong>If Meniscus Surgeries Are Ineffective, Then Why Are They Done?</strong>\r\n\r\nPatients usually believe the surgery will help their knee to function better and lessen the pain they are experiencing. When the knee locks and catches randomly, people want that to stop, especially since knee locking can be painful. If the person with these symptoms is an athlete, they want to get back to their sport quickly, and they think surgery is going to make that happen. People generally think that surgery can get them back to work or play sooner than other treatment options. But evidence and research does not back up this way of thinking. In fact, many patients are worse off after the surgery.\r\n\r\n<strong>If You Want to Keep Your Knee Intact, Then Keep Your Meniscus!</strong>\r\n\r\nWhen part of the knee, like the meniscus, is removed, the knee is unable to function normally. Removing the meniscus makes the knee unstable. The instability leads to the development of more knee problems. The joint instability that arises after removal of the meniscus negatively affects the interplay between the other structures of the knee, because extra stress is placed on them. When more stress is placed on the cartilage, degeneration is accelerated, boosting the arthritic process. More stress is also placed on the various ligaments and tendons supporting the knee, eventually damaging them and leading to the breakdown of the knee joint and irreversible joint damage. It has been proven in studies that new onset instability is demonstrated after a partial meniscectomy,<sup><a href=\"#_edn6\" name=\"_ednref6\">[vi]</a></sup><sup>,<a href=\"#_edn7\" name=\"_ednref7\">[vii]</a></sup> with significant rates of cartilage loss transpiring after both partial and complete meniscectomy, and that these procedures lead to degenerative arthritis and ligament injury in the knee. <sup><a href=\"#_edn8\" name=\"_ednref8\">[viii]</a></sup><sup>,<a href=\"#_edn9\" name=\"_ednref9\">[ix]</a></sup><sup>,<a href=\"#_edn10\" name=\"_ednref10\">[x]</a></sup> And this information is not new! Adverse effects associated with meniscectomy have been documented in the literature going as far back as 1923.<sup><a href=\"#_edn11\" name=\"_ednref11\">[xi]</a></sup><sup>,<a href=\"#_edn12\" name=\"_ednref12\">[xii]</a></sup><sup>,<a href=\"#_edn13\" name=\"_ednref13\">[xiii]</a></sup><sup>,<a href=\"#_edn14\" name=\"_ednref14\">[xiv]</a></sup>\r\n\r\n<strong>Regenerative Orthopedics Effectively Repairs Meniscus Tears Non-Surgically</strong>\r\n\r\nGiven the accumulation of evidence demonstrating not only the overwhelming lack of efficacy and benefit, but also the risk of serious adverse effects of this widely used procedure for meniscus tears, it is important to consider potential safe and effective alternatives. Regenerative Orthopedics is a non-surgical solution, used to effectively treat knee injuries such as meniscus tears, as well as other soft tissue injuries like ligament and tendon injuries.<sup><a href=\"#_edn15\" name=\"_ednref15\">[xv]</a></sup><sup>,<a href=\"#_edn16\" name=\"_ednref16\">[xvi]</a></sup> Regenerative Orthopedic treatments work by initiating the inflammatory stage of the healing process, raising the levels of growth factors, and initiating repair. The treatments stimulate new cell growth and rebuild depleted tissue, including the regeneration of cartilage.\r\n\r\nIn certain cases, Platelet Rich Plasma may be utilized. This involves the injection of your own blood components to facilitate the healing of tissue that has degenerated. Platelets are the storehouses of growth factors, and platelet rich plasma is abundant in growth factors, capable of stimulating healing of the injured tissue.\r\n\r\nRegenerative Orthopedic treatments can safely and effectively treat meniscus tears without the need for surgery, returning you quickly to the activities and sports you enjoy.\r\n\r\n<hr />\r\n\r\n<sup>[i]</sup> <span style=\"font-size: 10px;\">Lowry F.

So much so, that they are one of the most common injuries to the knee. Meniscal injuries are routinely treated with surgery, and many with meniscus injuries end up receiving some form of meniscectomy. Nearly 700,000 arthroscopic partial meniscectomies are performed annually in the US, at an estimated annual cost of $4 billion.<sup><a href=\"#_edn1\" name=\"_ednref1\">[i]</a></sup>  Is surgery of this type an effective way to treat meniscal injuries? Believe it or not, research show that it is not! Several studies question the effectiveness of this procedure. One study found that almost half of patients who received non-operative treatment with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs improved well enough to avoid surgery.<sup><a href=\"#_edn2\" name=\"_ednref2\">[ii]</a></sup> Three other studies compared arthroscopic meniscectomies with sham surgeries. A sham surgery is a faked surgical intervention that omits the step necessary for the surgery to be therapeutic. What were the results?  They found no significant difference between meniscectomy and sham surgery, and they did not find meniscectomies to be effective.<sup><a href=\"#_edn3\" name=\"_ednref3\">[iii]</a></sup><sup>,<a href=\"#_edn4\" name=\"_ednref4\">[iv]</a></sup> The most recent study, showed the surgery did not reduce the mechanical symptoms of knee catching and locking.<sup><a href=\"#_edn5\" name=\"_ednref5\">[v]</a></sup> As you can see, the effectiveness of meniscectomies is questionable.\r\n\r\n<strong>If Meniscus Surgeries Are Ineffective, Then Why Are They Done?</strong>\r\n\r\nPatients usually believe the surgery will help their knee to function better and lessen the pain they are experiencing. When the knee locks and catches randomly, people want that to stop, especially since knee locking can be painful. If the person with these symptoms is an athlete, they want to get back to their sport quickly, and they think surgery is going to make that happen. People generally think that surgery can get them back to work or play sooner than going through physical therapy or other treatment options. But evidence and research does not back this way of thinking. In fact, many patients are worse off after the surgery.\r\n\r\n<strong>If You Want to Keep Your Knee Intact, Then Keep Your Meniscus!</strong>\r\n\r\nWhen part of the knee, like the meniscus, is removed, the knee is unable to function normally. Removing the meniscus makes the knee unstable. The instability leads to the development of more knee problems. The joint instability that arises after removal of the meniscus negatively affects the interplay between the other structures of the knee, because extra stress is placed on them. When more stress is placed on the cartilage, degeneration is accelerated, boosting the arthritic process. More stress is also placed on the various ligaments and tendons supporting the knee, eventually damaging them and leading to the breakdown of the knee joint and irreversible joint damage. It has been proven in studies that new onset instability is demonstrated after partial meniscectomy,<sup><a href=\"#_edn6\" name=\"_ednref6\">[vi]</a></sup><sup>,<a href=\"#_edn7\" name=\"_ednref7\">[vii]</a></sup> with significant rates of cartilage loss transpiring after both partial and complete meniscectomy, and that these procedures lead to degenerative arthritis and ligament injury in the knee. <sup><a href=\"#_edn8\" name=\"_ednref8\">[viii]</a></sup><sup>,<a href=\"#_edn9\" name=\"_ednref9\">[ix]</a></sup><sup>,<a href=\"#_edn10\" name=\"_ednref10\">[x]</a></sup> And this information is not new! Adverse effects associated with meniscectomy have been documented in the literature going as far back as 1923.<sup><a href=\"#_edn11\" name=\"_ednref11\">[xi]</a></sup><sup>,<a href=\"#_edn12\" name=\"_ednref12\">[xii]</a></sup><sup>,<a href=\"#_edn13\" name=\"_ednref13\">[xiii]</a></sup><sup>,<a href=\"#_edn14\" name=\"_ednref14\">[xiv]</a></sup>\r\n\r\n<strong>Regenerative Orthopedics Effectively Repairs Meniscus Tears Non-Surgically</strong>\r\n\r\nGiven the accumulation of evidence <span style=\"text-decoration: line-through;\">t</span>hat demonstrates not only the overwhelming lack of efficacy and benefit, but also the risk of serious adverse effects of this widely used procedure for meniscus tears, it is important to consider potential safe and effective alternatives. Regenerative Orthopedics is a non-surgical solution, used to effectively treat knee injuries such as meniscus tears, as well as other soft tissue injuries like ligaments and tendons.<sup><a href=\"#_edn15\" name=\"_ednref15\">[xv]</a></sup><sup>,<a href=\"#_edn16\" name=\"_ednref16\">[xvi]</a></sup> Regenerative Orthopedic treatments work by initiating the inflammatory stage of the healing process, raising the levels of growth factors, and initiating repair. The treatments stimulate new cell growth and rebuild depleted tissue, including the regeneration of cartilage.\r\n\r\nIn certain cases, Platelet Rich Plasma may be utilized. This involves injection of your own blood components to facilitate the healing of tissue that has degenerated. Platelets are the storehouses of growth factors, and platelet rich plasma is abundant in growth factors, capable of stimulating healing of the injured tissue.\r\n\r\nRegenerative Orthopedic treatments can safely and effectively treat meniscus tears without the need for surgery, returning you quickly to the activities and sports you enjoy.\r\n\r\n<hr />\r\n\r\n<sup>[i]</sup> <span style=\"font-size:10px;\">Lowry F.

I was referred by my friend/chiropractor Marv who had stem cell therapy done by Dr. Fields. \r\n\r\nI injured my right knee at work while stepping off the fire engine.  The step off the engine is usually about 1-2 feet high.  We were parked on a high angle slope which created a 3-4 foot step. I instantly felt a pop and fell to the ground. I was rushed to ER where i found i had a fractured tibia and a torn meniscus. I was off duty for 8 months while recovering from a meniscectomy. I’ve had 2 PRP’s performed and i think it helped but I’m not too sure. I’ve heard amazing things about your practice and would appreciate an evaluation. \r\n\r\nMy goal is to return to the active lifestyle i had. I’m a full time firefighter for San Francisco fire department. Sports are my life. I’ve been a Crossfit games competitor and college softball player/ cross county runner and my dream is to stay active and not settle for more knee surgeries.

So much so, that they are one of the most common injuries to the knee. Meniscal injuries are routinely treated with surgery, and many with meniscus injuries end up receiving some form of meniscectomy. Nearly 700,000 arthroscopic partial meniscectomies are performed annually in the US, at an estimated annual cost of $4 billion.<sup><a href=\"#_edn1\" name=\"_ednref1\">[i]</a></sup>  Is surgery of this type an effective way to treat meniscal injuries? Believe it or not, research shows that it is not! Several studies question the effectiveness of this procedure. One study found that almost half of patients who received non-operative treatment with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs improved well enough to avoid surgery.<sup><a href=\"#_edn2\" name=\"_ednref2\">[ii]</a></sup> Three other studies compared arthroscopic meniscectomies with sham surgeries. (A sham surgery is a faked surgical intervention that omits the step necessary for the surgery to be therapeutic.) What were the results?  They found no significant difference between meniscectomy and sham surgery, and they did not find meniscectomies to be effective.<sup><a href=\"#_edn3\" name=\"_ednref3\">[iii]</a></sup><sup>,<a href=\"#_edn4\" name=\"_ednref4\">[iv]</a></sup> Additionally, the most recent stud, showed the surgery did not reduce the mechanical symptoms of knee catching and locking.<sup><a href=\"#_edn5\" name=\"_ednref5\">[v]</a></sup> As you can see, the effectiveness of meniscectomies is questionable.\n\n<strong>If Meniscus Surgeries Are Ineffective, Then Why Are They Done?</strong>\n\nPatients usually believe the surgery will help their knee to function better and lessen the pain they are experiencing. When the knee locks and catches randomly, people want that to stop, especially since knee locking can be painful. If the person with these symptoms is an athlete, they want to get back to their sport quickly, and they think surgery is going to make that happen. People generally think that surgery can get them back to work or play sooner than other treatment options. But evidence and research does not back up this way of thinking. In fact, many patients are worse off after the surgery.\n\n<strong>If You Want to Keep Your Knee Intact, Then Keep Your Meniscus!</strong>\n\nWhen part of the knee, like the meniscus, is removed, the knee is unable to function normally. Removing the meniscus makes the knee unstable. The instability leads to the development of more knee problems. The joint instability that arises after removal of the meniscus negatively affects the interplay between the other structures of the knee, because extra stress is placed on them. When more stress is placed on the cartilage, degeneration is accelerated, boosting the arthritic process. More stress is also placed on the various ligaments and tendons supporting the knee, eventually damaging them and leading to the breakdown of the knee joint and irreversible joint damage. It has been proven in studies that new onset instability is demonstrated after a partial meniscectomy,<sup><a href=\"#_edn6\" name=\"_ednref6\">[vi]</a></sup><sup>,<a href=\"#_edn7\" name=\"_ednref7\">[vii]</a></sup> with significant rates of cartilage loss transpiring after both partial and complete meniscectomy, and that these procedures lead to degenerative arthritis and ligament injury in the knee. <sup><a href=\"#_edn8\" name=\"_ednref8\">[viii]</a></sup><sup>,<a href=\"#_edn9\" name=\"_ednref9\">[ix]</a></sup><sup>,<a href=\"#_edn10\" name=\"_ednref10\">[x]</a></sup> And this information is not new! Adverse effects associated with meniscectomy have been documented in the literature going as far back as 1923.<sup><a href=\"#_edn11\" name=\"_ednref11\">[xi]</a></sup><sup>,<a href=\"#_edn12\" name=\"_ednref12\">[xii]</a></sup><sup>,<a href=\"#_edn13\" name=\"_ednref13\">[xiii]</a></sup><sup>,<a href=\"#_edn14\" name=\"_ednref14\">[xiv]</a></sup>\n\n<strong>Regenerative Orthopedics Effectively Repairs Meniscus Tears Non-Surgically</strong>\n\nGiven the accumulation of evidence demonstrating not only the overwhelming lack of efficacy and benefit, but also the risk of serious adverse effects of this widely used procedure for meniscus tears, it is important to consider potential safe and effective alternatives. Regenerative Orthopedics is a non-surgical solution, used to effectively treat knee injuries such as meniscus tears, as well as other soft tissue injuries like ligament and tendons.<sup><a href=\"#_edn15\" name=\"_ednref15\">[xv]</a></sup><sup>,<a href=\"#_edn16\" name=\"_ednref16\">[xvi]</a></sup> Regenerative Orthopedic treatments work by initiating the inflammatory stage of the healing process, raising the levels of growth factors, and initiating repair. The treatments stimulate new cell growth and rebuild depleted tissue, including the regeneration of cartilage.\n\nIn certain cases, Platelet Rich Plasma may be utilized. This involves injection of your own blood components to facilitate the healing of tissue that has degenerated. Platelets are the storehouses of growth factors, and platelet rich plasma is abundant in growth factors, capable of stimulating healing of the injured tissue.\n\nRegenerative Orthopedic treatments can safely and effectively treat meniscus tears without the need for surgery, returning you quickly to the activities and sports you enjoy.\n\n<hr />\n\n<sup>[i]</sup> <span style=\"font-size: 10px;\">Lowry F.

So much so, that they are one of the most common injuries to the knee. Meniscal injuries are routinely treated with surgery, and many with meniscus injuries end up receiving some form of meniscectomy. Nearly 700,000 arthroscopic partial meniscectomies are performed annually in the US, at an estimated annual cost of $4 billion.<sup><a href=\"#_edn1\" name=\"_ednref1\">[i]</a></sup>  Is surgery of this type an effective way to treat meniscal injuries? Believe it or not, research shows that it is not! Several studies question the effectiveness of this procedure. One study found that almost half of patients who received non-operative treatment with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs improved well enough to avoid surgery.<sup><a href=\"#_edn2\" name=\"_ednref2\">[ii]</a></sup> Three other studies compared arthroscopic meniscectomies with sham surgeries. (A sham surgery is a faked surgical intervention that omits the step necessary for the surgery to be therapeutic.) What were the results?  They found no significant difference between meniscectomy and sham surgery, and they did not find meniscectomies to be effective.<sup><a href=\"#_edn3\" name=\"_ednref3\">[iii]</a></sup><sup>,<a href=\"#_edn4\" name=\"_ednref4\">[iv]</a></sup> Additionally, the most recent stud, showed the surgery did not reduce the mechanical symptoms of knee catching and locking.<sup><a href=\"#_edn5\" name=\"_ednref5\">[v]</a></sup> As you can see, the effectiveness of meniscectomies is questionable.\r\n\r\n<strong>If Meniscus Surgeries Are Ineffective, Then Why Are They Done?</strong>\r\n\r\nPatients usually believe the surgery will help their knee to function better and lessen the pain they are experiencing. When the knee locks and catches randomly, people want that to stop, especially since knee locking can be painful. If the person with these symptoms is an athlete, they want to get back to their sport quickly, and they think surgery is going to make that happen. People generally think that surgery can get them back to work or play sooner than other treatment options. But evidence and research does not back up this way of thinking. In fact, many patients are worse off after the surgery.\r\n\r\n<strong>If You Want to Keep Your Knee Intact, Then Keep Your Meniscus!</strong>\r\n\r\nWhen part of the knee, like the meniscus, is removed, the knee is unable to function normally. Removing the meniscus makes the knee unstable. The instability leads to the development of more knee problems. The joint instability that arises after removal of the meniscus negatively affects the interplay between the other structures of the knee, because extra stress is placed on them. When more stress is placed on the cartilage, degeneration is accelerated, boosting the arthritic process. More stress is also placed on the various ligaments and tendons supporting the knee, eventually damaging them and leading to the breakdown of the knee joint and irreversible joint damage. It has been proven in studies that new onset instability is demonstrated after a partial meniscectomy,<sup><a href=\"#_edn6\" name=\"_ednref6\">[vi]</a></sup><sup>,<a href=\"#_edn7\" name=\"_ednref7\">[vii]</a></sup> with significant rates of cartilage loss transpiring after both partial and complete meniscectomy, and that these procedures lead to degenerative arthritis and ligament injury in the knee. <sup><a href=\"#_edn8\" name=\"_ednref8\">[viii]</a></sup><sup>,<a href=\"#_edn9\" name=\"_ednref9\">[ix]</a></sup><sup>,<a href=\"#_edn10\" name=\"_ednref10\">[x]</a></sup> And this information is not new! Adverse effects associated with meniscectomy have been documented in the literature going as far back as 1923.<sup><a href=\"#_edn11\" name=\"_ednref11\">[xi]</a></sup><sup>,<a href=\"#_edn12\" name=\"_ednref12\">[xii]</a></sup><sup>,<a href=\"#_edn13\" name=\"_ednref13\">[xiii]</a></sup><sup>,<a href=\"#_edn14\" name=\"_ednref14\">[xiv]</a></sup>\r\n\r\n<strong>Regenerative Orthopedics Effectively Repairs Meniscus Tears Non-Surgically</strong>\r\n\r\nGiven the accumulation of evidence demonstrating not only the overwhelming lack of efficacy and benefit, but also the risk of serious adverse effects of this widely used procedure for meniscus tears, it is important to consider potential safe and effective alternatives. Regenerative Orthopedics is a non-surgical solution, used to effectively treat knee injuries such as meniscus tears, as well as other soft tissue injuries like ligament and tendon injuries.<sup><a href=\"#_edn15\" name=\"_ednref15\">[xv]</a></sup><sup>,<a href=\"#_edn16\" name=\"_ednref16\">[xvi]</a></sup> Regenerative Orthopedic treatments work by initiating the inflammatory stage of the healing process, raising the levels of growth factors, and initiating repair. The treatments stimulate new cell growth and rebuild depleted tissue, including the regeneration of cartilage.\r\n\r\nIn certain cases, Platelet Rich Plasma may be utilized. This involves the injection of your own blood components to facilitate the healing of tissue that has degenerated. Platelets are the storehouses of growth factors, and platelet rich plasma is abundant in growth factors, capable of stimulating healing of the injured tissue.\r\n\r\nRegenerative Orthopedic treatments can safely and effectively treat meniscus tears without the need for surgery, returning you quickly to the activities and sports you enjoy.\r\n\r\n<hr />\r\n\r\n<sup>[i]</sup> <span style=\"font-size: 10px;\">Lowry F.

But how did you get to this point, and what can you do about it? The pain and destruction of arthritis of the hip do not happen overnight but occur through a sequence of events that has at its core, a loss of cartilage in the hip. The degenerative changes that occur through this process affect other hip joint structures, and will eventually lead to the narrowing of joint space and the growth of bone spurs. The cycle progresses until the movement of the hip joint becomes noticeably restricted. The ongoing hip pain, restriction in mobility, and disability caused by hip arthritis frequently lead sufferers to seek out relief, and their physician and/or surgeon will eventually recommend surgical replacement of the hip. Is a surgical hip replacement the only choice a hip arthritis sufferer has?\r\n\r\n<strong>Let’s Take a Deeper Look at the Arthritis Cycle</strong>\r\n\r\nWhat actually transpires before reaching the point of cartilage loss in the hip? Arthritis of the hip almost always begins with ligament weakness or injury. The hip joint is a ball-and-socket joint with massive ligaments. Healthy ligaments hold the bones together, and along with the cartilage enable the bones to glide evenly over one another when the joints go through their various motions. The ligaments are the structures primarily responsible for maintaining smooth joint motion, and making sure the joint doesn’t go out of place or move too much! But when the ligaments and other soft tissue structures of the hip face forces beyond what they can withstand, injury and failure occur, resulting in hip instability. These forces may be sudden, such as through a fall or accident, or over a period of time, when the ligaments are subjected over and over to abnormal forces during situations like when a person continually limps due to an ankle or knee injury. When the ligaments become injured, the entire hip joint will be unstable and will move abnormally. You can understand how the abnormal movement of the joint will then put undue stress on all of the other joint structures which will continue to weaken the ligaments more and more. Even the overgrowth of bone, as seen by the development of bone spurs, is part of the body’s attempts at stabilizing the abnormal joint motion occurring in the joint. The cycle of injury goes on, progressively degenerating the hip in the development of arthritis. At this point, the sufferer is faced with the question of how to relieve the pain and improve function, since mobility is often impaired. Surgical repair and hip replacement are needed at times, but more conservative treatments should be sought first.\r\n\r\n<strong>What Are the Treatment Options for Hip Arthritis? </strong>\r\n\r\nNSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) and corticosteroid injections are commonly used to treat arthritis pain. Are these good options?  These pain relief options have been shown to be effective in decreasing inflammation and pain in the short-term.  However, these medications have some negative side effects. Unfortunately, they weaken soft tissue and inhibit the ability of the tissue, such as ligaments and tendons, to heal. For this reason, their use is cautioned in those who have ligament and soft tissue injuries. How do they weaken soft tissue? Cortisone actually weakens collagen and as such weakens the soft tissue. Can you see how taking something that weakens soft tissue will actually make injuries occur more easily and cause the joint to be more susceptible to injury and more unstable overall? It’s true! Cortisone contributes to the development of conditions such as arthritis and pushes the sufferer more rapidly down the road to the eventual joint replacement. For acute ligament injuries, these modalities should be used for the shortest period of time, if used at all. Instead, regenerative medicine techniques, such as Regenerative Orthopedics, which have been shown to resolve ligament injuries, repair tendon injuries, and rebuild cartilage in the hip, should be sought.\r\n\r\n<strong>Do Hyaluronic Acid Injections Work?</strong>\r\n\r\nHyaluronic acid injections, such as Synvisc or Hyalgen, are very popular conservative treatments for hip pain. Hyaluronic acid provides cushion and lubrication to the joints. It can be used as an oral supplement and as an injection that is given directly into the hip joint.\r\n\r\nBut does hyaluronic acid work and are there drawbacks to its use? Sometimes sufferers experience relief with hyaluronic acid injections, but the reprieve from pain is generally only for a short period of time. When you take a look at studies, the research has shown hyaluronic acid treatment to actually lack clinical effectiveness, with thousands of patients finding only minimal relief or no relief at all.<a href=\"#_edn1\" name=\"_ednref1\">[i]</a> The treatment frequently becomes only a delay of the inevitable hip replacement, because <strong><em>it only lubricates a dysfunctional joint, without fixing anything.</em></strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>What about Arthroscopic Surgery? Is it beneficial?</strong>\r\n\r\nElimination of the painful area by arthroscopic shaving and cutting, or by the removal of tissue just delays the pain for a few years until the remaining tissue becomes degenerated. Arthroscopy is a direct assault to joint tissue and increases the arthritic process. Arthroscopy, like the aforementioned treatments, may relieve symptoms temporarily, but long-term will destabilize the joint and boost degeneration. The hip pain patient must realize that with each procedure and each shaving or cutting of tissue, NSAID prescription, or cortisone injection, the risk of developing long-term arthritis and the eventual hip replacement is greatly increased. The key to keeping the hip strong is to stimulate the area to heal.\r\n\r\n<strong>How Can You Stop the Cycle of Instability in the Hip Joint?</strong>\r\n\r\nThe goal of many therapeutic, non-surgical modalities such as weight loss, exercise, physical therapy, bracing, and orthoses, is to decrease pain and improve function, but they are unable to repair the source of the pain or the cycle of joint instability that started the problem, to begin with. The increased mechanical stress caused by injury to the ligaments, tendons, labrum, etc. that altered the function of the hip joint and made the joint unstable and more susceptible to further soft tissue injury, needs to be stopped. If you don’t repair what caused the arthritis in the first place, it will only continue, since the long-lasting effect of continual joint instability is arthritis. Unfortunately, these treatments may fail because they are unable to repair this instability. The road to arthritis, and the ensuing joint replacement can only be remedied when the problem of joint instability is addressed.\r\n\r\nFortunately, Regenerative Orthopedics stops the cycle, because the treatments repair the soft tissue injuries, like ligament, tendon, and labrum injuries. Regenerative Orthopedics does not interfere with the normal healing process of the body, like cortisone and NSAIDS do, but rather stimulate the normal inflammatory-reparative mechanisms of the body, laying down new collagen, strengthening the tendons and ligaments, and boosting cartilage growth. The treatments reduce the chance of long-term arthritis. Regenerative Orthopedics offers hope to those suffering from hip arthritis and to those trying to avoid hip replacement. While surgery is necessary for a small percentage of patients, non-surgical regenerative therapies should be a first-line, conservative treatment tried prior to surgery.  If surgery has already been done and pain continues to be an issue, these treatments can be effective at reducing the pain from the arthritis that was accelerated due to surgery. For more advanced conditions, the Gold Standard in Stem Cell Therapy can be utilized, which offers a promising alternative to joint replacement and the opportunity for healing and return to function for those suffering from arthritic hip pain.\r\n\r\n<hr />\r\n\r\n<a href=\"#_ednref1\" name=\"_edn1\">[i]</a> Diehl P, Gerdesmeyer L, Schauwecker J, Kreuz PC, Gollwitzer H, Tischer T.
