Bedsores: Why you really don't want to get this painful condition

Bedsores tend to occur in people who lie or sit in the same position for hours. — Filepic

Bedsores are also known as pressure sores or pressure ulcers. They can also be called decubitus ulcers (decubitus means lying down).

Bedsores don’t only develop if you lie down in one position for a long time; they can also develop if you sit in one position for a long time.
