Oldfordlover,
It's good to hear from you. I have the same issues. It all started around 2 years ago. The fissure symptoms and bleeding went away after few weeks but the sitting pain and tightness has remained and totally disrupted my life. Have you got any solid medical confirmation that you have prostatitis? I mean it might be just pelvic floor and sphincter muscle tightness. I never had these issues before. Since few years ago I experienced very mild and occasional weak stream and straining during urination but nothing that convince me I'm dealing with a bad prostate! every PSA and UTI test I've had was normal. Also 2 pelvic MRIs showed normal prostate size. I'm hopeless! Anyway, I'll have a transrectal ultrasound in a couple weeks and hope it shed some light on potential prostate problems.
