Compression bandages severe pain

Second time I have tried to cope with compression bandages. Second time I have felt increasing pain from the blue material underneath the bandages which I feel is rubbing the ulcer when I walk. Is this normal? I was always in pain before the compression bandages were put on but this is 100 times worse. My toes are fine (not blue) but I am concerned that this rubbing may make the ulcer bigger. I have been on Tramadol 100mg 4 times daily and Gabapentin 300mg - 2 in morning and 3 at bedrime. Nothing helps the pain. I have even contemplated taking Tramadol and Dihydrodeine together to help the pain. I am at my wits end. Please somebody help.......
