What Causes Severe Abdominal Spasms While Bending?

I keep getting spasms in the top of my abdomen when i bend over or move awkwardly, it feels like something has trapped and can last several minutes and ache for sometime after, I have a tear in my stomach wall, and suffer with bowel problems but dont really think this is related, what could it be?

HI.
Thanks for your query and your history is self- explanatory.

As you have mentioned you have a tear in the stomach wall and you suffer from bowel problem, the diagnosis is most probably the following:
This looks to be due to entrapment of a hernia through the break in the stomach (abdominal) wall.
When an intestinal loop or omental part gets through the gap in the wall and gets trapped in, you can certainly get a symptom of severe abdominal spasms while bending or move awkwardly.
I would advise you the following.
Get a clinical / physical examination done, get a confirmatory diagnosis by high resolution ultrasonography or CT scan.
If this is positive for hernia, you have to get this operated.
All these will help you to rule-out or confirm if there is another or additional problems.
