With a "bloated stomach", and pelvic/abdominal pain, "around back and in hip and buttocks", while some elements may be "sciatic nerve compression", ovarian disease (cyst or complex tumor) needs evaluation : see your gyn for an exam and other testing (ultrasound of pelvis) and after that, a referral to a neurologist for evaluation as well.
