I think the term you are looking for is "apraxia" or "ataxia" - an MRI finds many things that a CT scan will miss. "massive problems" with your hips is likely the cause vs. something with your CNS like MS. A neurologist can diagnose MS very easily. Ask your doctor for a referral to physical therapy.
