Pain in and around the surgical site, need to push area in to stop it. Normal?

Almost two weeks post op (closed), have used an elastic band to help support surgical area. I feel the need to make it tighter and tighter due to pain in the area. It feels like I have to compress the area internally to reduce the pain and discomfort. There is pain when I move to stand, get up from reclining, and sometimes just up and moving around the room. Have to apply pressure in and around the area to relieve the pain. Is this normal for anyone?
