Those photos look so painful
Has anyone suggested low level laser therapy or even LED light therapy?
Both of these can be used without having to touch the skin - but someone would have to hold the units or place it on a stand of some sort.
LLLT treatments can be as short as 20 secs per location - LED takes about 20 minutes per location
If nothing else it should help the wounds heal much faster, but it just might help with some of the swelling & pain from that.
some basic info sites for LLLT & LED

other things that have been talked of on the forum-
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy?? HBO
Nutrition & supplements ? grape seed extract/pycnogenol = antioxidants
I also like Vit C & MSM for whole body healing and wellness along with a good multiple.
Since you are so far north a Vitamin D supplement is a good idea too.
We have a forum for - Vitamins, Nutrients, Herbs and Supplements- it will have more specifics for those things.
