It could be related, but it also could be coincidence. For example, I have had severe sciatica (pain down the leg like you're describing) due to two different TREATABLE problems. One, a herniated (aka slipped, degenerative, etc) disk in my lower back. Treatment for that was a dose pak of Medrol, a strong anti inflammatory, and specific exercises to strengthen my abdominal muscles. The second was a severe muscle spasm deep in my hip called piriformis syndrome. The treatment for that again was Medrol and a DIFFERENT set of exercises to strengthen the piriformis muscle. These were both long before I developed severe IBS and neither of them have bothered me since I got IBS. So fortunately, sometimes things are NOT related. Nice not to have to deal with one thing when you've got another!
