Could Severe Hemorrhoid Followed By Pain In Tailbone Indicate Bone Infection?

I have a very bad hemorrhoid that has been bleeding a lot for a week. I went to ER 7 days ago but they just subscribed an over the counter cream. It is about half gone now however my tail bone has been hurting the last 4 days and yesterday my sacroiliac region suddenly began to hurt very badly. I can barely put weight on my leg or lift my leg without a lot of pain. Should I be worried about a bone infection from the hemorrhoid?
