Anybody wear a binder after surgery?

I am only 6 days out so I understand I am going to experience some pain,however I think I may have pulled the muscles in my left rib area.Since day 2 after surgery it hurts so bad I can barely straighten up when walking and getting up is almost impossible without help. I dont think this is "gas pains"as it actually is very sore to the touch also.None of my lap incisions are sore and are healing up very nicely,but this pain is almost unbearable.I have read where some people wear a binder but those seem to be very old posts and I didnt know if things had changed more over the years.If I didnt have this pain I would feel like a new person.HELP!!!!!!!
