Having trouble sleeping on a 45 degree angle post op due to intense back pain. Is this normal? Compression band related? (Photo)

bmg87
I am one week and a couple days post op. I Am 5'6 and 120 pounds. I had 425cc round silicone implants placed via the crease under the breast. I've been sleeping propped up with pillows on a 45 degree angle but I can't seem to get comfortable without my back being in pain. My lower back really hurts the more propped up I a And then my upper back hurts the more flat I try to lay down. Is this normal? I also notice that wearing the compression band makes back pain worse. Any suggestions?
