Ask your doctor about hyperbaric oxygen. I had a wound on the upper
surface of a foot with impaired circulation; the wound shrank but
would not heal despite twice-weekly treatments for years. I finally
went to a wound specialist the end of March, and he prescribed
hyperbaric oxygen that I started the following week - five days a week
for six weeks.
The hyperbaric chamber is a Lexan tube, seven or eight feet long,
maybe three feet in diameter, with a steel cap/door at each end. Slid
in there from a special gurney and watched a video (outside) for an
hour. Pure oxygen at about 1.5 atmos. The tissues are saturated with
oxygen.
It worked. The wound, once the size of an egg and ~two mm below the
nearby skin, is now maybe eight mm in diameter and flush.
