In bed too long: It is not uncommon for aches and pains to result from staying in bed too long. This is not a bed sore, which usually occur in the elderly and/or debilitated from being immobile from longer periods of time. However, it is how the development of bed sores begins. Don't worry. The soreness will resolve as you are up and around. In the future, consider getting up and moving around periodically.
