can female problems and sciatic nerve be related?

Hello. About a month ago. I started haveing deep pain in my right buttocks. Not constant but more as I slept at night and after getting up in the morning. It would go down the back of my leg too. A couple weeks later I started limping from foot pain in the ball of my foot and in my ankle. The foot pain is there any time I take a step and hasn't gone away sence. About the same time the foot pain started I noticed streaks of blood after using the bathroom almost on a daily basis and heavier bleeding for a few hours after sex. I have a doctors appointment in a week and a half, but in the mean time I'm miserable between the foot pain and worring what the blleding might be from. My husband died of cancer 2 years ago and I have no health insurance and that makes for a hopeless feeling.

I'm sorry to hear about your symptoms, and hope you're feeling better after going to the Doctor.  You may want to look up "Cauda Equina" on Wikipedia, it is the bundle of nerves that exits at the end of your spine, you may find the information, interesting. Do you have ruptured discs?  It could explain a lot.  Good Luck...
