Muscular pain along incision

I had a partial nifferectomy in May 2024 and the remaining part of my kidney atrophied. I have a 10 inch incision along my left side and I have quite consistent pain along the site. It is most noticeable when I sleep and does wake me up. For example I'm in Australia and it is 445 in the morning and I have been awake for an hour with the pain. I would love any tips or guidance as to how I can improve or fix this I don't really want to take medication for the pain I would like to address the underlying muscular issue. Has anyone else had this?
