What Causes Radiating Pain From Tailbone To Legs?

I have RA/fibromyalgia. For the past couple months I've had ongoing pain radiating from my tailbone through my legs(particularly shins). I take methotrexate, hydrochoroquine, nortriptilyne, fluoxetine. I teach elementary p.e. and the pain has become worse since doing stretches w/my classes. I am 62 yrs. old, and play lots of tennis in decent weather. I also have a herniated disc, but this pain seems to be from the coccyx. Should I see my physician? I saw my rheumatologist a few weeks ago, and he said I need to work out more. That's difficult; especially when the problem seems to be worsening. Please advise. Thank you, Susan

Hello,
Yes, I suggest that you see your physician. It may be coming from the disc disease, or there may be new disc problems. See your doctor as soon as possible.
