My compression garment causes a severe back ache and abdominal pain while lying down. Is it ok if I only wear it during the day?

I had abdominal lipo Friday the 3rd of Jan. I have a raging rash around the trunk of my body and the compression garment causes a severe back ache and abdominal pain while lying down.
