Could Pain In Back/knees/belly Button Be Due To Umbilical Hernia?

I had a car accident a year ago. I hurt my back and knees and also kept getting an aching feeling above my belly button. I have since developed a swelling in the same place and am still having discomfort on and off. Could this be an umbilical hernia due to the trauma of the accident.I am 49, of slightly above average weight have asthma and hypertension. Thankyou
