Heart Slow healing wounds

I have had a wound on my leg that has not healed in 9 months. I have been going to the wound center at the hospital for the past 7 months and they debride it every week but it hasn't helped at all. I have tried several different medications and lived with this doctor scraping or cutting on the wound with nothing more than a little lidocaine (which does absolutely nothing for the pain). I have even gone through hyperbaric oxygen therapy treatments to try to help the wound (which had an added benefit with the RSD) but they wouldn't let me continue after 10 treatments. It was helping my RSD pain. But did'nt help the wound much at all. I was really bummed out when I found that I was not going to be able to continue the HBOT. Anyway, with each weekly visit costing over $700 to debride the wound,, I have decided about 2 weeks ago to quit going to the wound center and am using the same medicine but just going to see if I can get it to heal on my own without it being cut on every week.
