Default ? for wheelchair users............

Does anyone have a problem with pressure sores/points under your heels? Since having the weeping edema situation, a home health nurse has been coming here once a week and has checked my feet. There are just red marks now, but she said they could develop into pressure sores. It feels like somebody is sticking me with a needle when just sitting. It really, really hurts and sends my foot/feet into spasms.

What the heck is this???? I'm only sitting for goodness sake, so have been trying to keep my heels up......isn't easy being they no longer work normally! If you've had this problem, what did you do to help the situation? I really don't need any more pain. Thanks for any suggestions.
