Wounds Not Normal: You may be getting "rest pain" that happens with decreased blood flow to you legs when you get into a flat position. Given this symptom the ulcer on your leg may be due to poor blood flow going to your leg. You should seek the attention of your doctor and then likely a referral to a wound care center.
