is it normal to have a backache?

I am 6 days post-op(LAP) and my back is in so much pain that I cry, why would my back hurt when I had surgery on my stomach? Anybody have any home remedies? The pain meds they gave me I cannot take until after the kids are in bed because the medication puts me into a sounds sleep for at least 6 hours. Showers/baths don't work.
