Brainstorm with me. Guess. We have tried the usual stuff with no luck, so tell me my ancestor was "Big Foot" and I have a genetic predisposition to fall down. That is more than my doctors have figured out.

So it happens with severe pain? And it is intermittent. I know this can happen in knees from a small tear in the miniscus where sometimes the flap floats up and is excrutiating to try to put any weight on it, then on its own it floats back into place within 20 minutes or so and the person feels fine again. X-rays would not show this.
Perhaps something similar happens in other joints?
Another though is that there is intermittent pressure on some nerves from the neck or other area of the spine. Again, nothing might show up on X-ray, but might on MRI IF the right place is looked at. Perhaps seeing an O.D. trained in osteopathic manipulation might help.
I presume you've already had MRI with contrast to check for MS?
And vitamin B levels checked?
