Too much compression ruin my TT?

Fitmom99
I’m Day 19 Postop - was told by PS that I could double up on compression. I wore a Spanx type garment with binder over it. It wasn’t uncomfortable and I could breathe just fine. I never felt like it was too much. I wore it for six hours then removed them for a shower. Immediately I noticed tons of swelling on incision line and pubic area, which have not occurred prior to this. I actually haven’t had much swelling until this. The incision line is also hard now. Did I mess something up?
