New pain 8 weeks post tummy tuck. What can I do?

aholton
I had tummy tuck 8 weeks ago. I've been cleared for light exercise and have been walking up to 5 miles. Last night I put my binder on before bed because I was feeling sore and tender. I rolled over in bed and felt sharp pain in my mid-upper abdomen. It was very hard to get out of bed this morning--still uncomfortable and then pain when I move. I'm feeling like I should go back to wearing binder full time and no laying flat like immediate post op. Anything else I can do?
