Suggest Treatment For Umbilical Hernia

I have an umbilical hernia and a doctor tacked it back during my gallbladder surgery about a year ago. I have recently when leaning forward or bending a certain way, I feel like something is getting stuck and I get this pain until it goes back. I experienced an episode on Saturday and the pain is there but it feels like my stomach is swollen like as if I was pregnant. Is it possible my hernia is stuck some how? It is right below my rib cage on left side.
