Pressure sores occur when you are in one position for too long. They often occur following a surgery or injury when you are on bed rest and cannot move adequately on your own. If you are not constantly moving, the portion of your body touching your bed (or whatever you are resting on) will begin to lose blood, resulting in extreme pain, and eventually a sore forming. If pressure sores are not treated, they can grow deeper or get infected.
