I'm so lost and confused, do I have Pudendal Neuralgia?

Hey Everyone
I've been suffering with rectal pain going on 8 months now
Let me list the symptoms then ill get into the story behind it
Symptoms i had were
- itching of the anus
- bleeding during bowel movements (sometimes pouring out)
- burning during bowel movements
- Pain that lingered all day centralized around the left side of the anus
- sometimes feeling like i had to poop
- Intense Spasms waking me up in the middle of the night and sometimes at random times during the day
- Random but not consistent Tingling sensations in the perenium (sometimes ill go a day or 2 without this)
Now my doctor gave me some anti fungal cream which stopped the itch completely, the burning has mostly gone away and i no longer bleed during bowel movements, that all said i still have horrible pain
the pain is completly centralized around the 3 oclock position of my anus, no testicle pain or penal pain.
At first it was diagnosed as hemeroids but they couldnt find any, then they diagnosed it as anal fissures but couldnt find any fissures
Got bounced between like 6 different doctors, got a colonoscopy, nothing shows
however after the colonoscopy the doctor finds small fissures, months later fissures dont heal
he ended up doing a surgury called a sphincteronomy, 5 weeks after that i went for the follow up, fissures are healed,
HOWEVER, still horrible pain at 3 oclock position, cannot sit for anymore then a minute without it flaring up angerly.
If i stand up sometimes i can get relief and the pain is least when i wake up, by the afternoon it slowly comes on more angerly until its unbearable
I'm currently on sick leave from work because the pain is too much to bare,
Now the doctors are referring me to a doctor to evaluate the prostate, when i look at issues with the prostate im not sure the symptoms line up with what ive dealt with.
I've been googling symptoms for ages since doctors work in slow motion here, one thing that stood out to me was that this pain came on about 8 months ago, around april. I directly remember falling down on some wet grass while kicking a soccer ball around and landing on my back/but. This pain im feeling didnt come on directly after that but within a month, not saying its related but im so lost im looking for anything to latch onto.
I'm completly lost at what is going on.
Does this sound like Pudendal Neuralgia?
Also I'm in the Toronto Canada area, our medical system is slow motion. if anyone knows local doctors that specialize in this stuff please advise
