Hello, krigby37,You say that you had gallstone pancreatitis in 2011 and had surveyor removal of gallbladder. You state that you had retained stone in your common bile duct and that was taken care of. I don't think your hernia is responsible for the symptoms of itching. I have a feeling that you may have developed scar tissue around the end of the bile duct, called stricture due to inflammation. It impossible you may have another small stone stuck in the duct that was not removed or reformed. If you start having fever, chills, passing dark urine (Orange) that is a sign of problem with the duct. You may need hospitalization, intravenous antibiotics and perhaps procedure called ERCP where TH specialist will introduce a scope through the stomach into the duodenum and inject dye to look at the bile duct and also pancreatic duct. If the is stricture, they can dilate or stretch stand sometimes placing a stent to keep it open and relieve blockage. You need to have additional blood tests including complete liver tests, complete blood count etc. Hope this answers your concerns, and you can contact your doctor to discuss these and get the tests done.
