Spasms in muscles implies that you may not have enough magnesium in your diet.
A chelated magnesium supplement like magnesium citrate, or gluconate, or a SlowMag twice a day, may help relax muscles that are tight.
Aim for 1/2 the RDA which for adults is 200mg a day.
Avoid magnesium OXIDE...as it is not absorbed.
You can also try to sit in a bathtub with epsom salts, about 6oz to a 1/2 bathtub of warm water (not hot), and keep the water warm and soak for at least 1/2 hour. This will send the magnesium into your pelvic area, and may help that way too.
It is easy, inexpensive and very effective.
If magnesium does not help (and about 70% of US is low in magnesium according to studies)...then you may have an injured nerve. Did you use Cipro or Levaquin for your prostatitis? If so, you may have fluoroquinoline nerve damage, and this may not be easy to fix if at all.
Try the epsom salt soaks. Once a day should be enough.
Be careful because they make the tub slippery to get out of.
