10 days post op and suddenly having bad back pain...why and what can I do?

I'm 10 days post op, getting a little stronger each day....had open RNY (about 50 staples still in). I can't sleep in my bed...it hurts too much. The recliner I'm sleeping in feels great while I sleep. But I'm having awful back pain....upper and lower.....why and what can I do? I'm still wearing my binder, per my doctor..and I still can't sleep on my sides or tummy...it hurts too much. Help!?!
