What Causes Pain And Weakness In The Extremities?

I have pain and weakness in my extremities. I lose use of my legs from pain in my tailbone. I was told in 2015 that I have arthritis in my tailbone area. I also have fibromyalgia. The weakness comes on especially after bending at waist or squatting. I also have tremors now.
