Prayer in Short Pants

Hello. I have a wound that is infected or might be infected. It is not allowed to have pressure on it, so wearing long pants is problematic. Can I wear short pants during prayers (since ordinarily, it is not an issue), or should I find long pants that can be worn without pressure, although I'm not sure I will find any because I'm going to camp tomorrow?

Hello 

According to the law, one should dress during prayer as if standing before a king - a respected person.

However, of course, if there is no other option, it is permissible to pray as long as dressed according to the law.

Therefore, if there is a way to make an effort and wear long pants, one should do so. Only if there is truly no other option, it is permissible to pray in short pants. 

Shulchan Aruch, Orach Chaim, Siman 91, Seif 1, and Mishnah Berurah there.
