Brief Answer:
PSA is normal.

Detailed Answer:
Hello Cbingham and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist, i must assure you, that PSA is absolutely normal.
Though it's only a tumor marker, it's not 100% accurate.
In case of Prostatitis(infection),large sized glands,manipulation of gland,etc,it can be elevated also.
The best way to assess now is carry out an examination by a qualified Urologist.
He'll also check for any cause, for the back and anal pain.
Also, get an ultrasound scan of abdomen and a TRUS(trans rectal ultrasound scan), of the prostate gland.
As you've frequent urination,and nocturia, there could be urinary infection or diabetes.
So get your urine routine and culture test done,and blood sugar, to rule it out.
Hope your doubts are cleared.
Wish you well.
