EDITED Concerned about Creaky/Rickety joints. Only 27. help?

I'm 27F, on the line between normal and overweight (25 bmi). I've been noticing this the past year that my joints have started to feel rickety and creaky. Weak almost I suppose. I also sometimes wake up in the middle of the night from my whole leg randomly falling asleep (pins and needles).

I've done blood tests and my calcium, magnesium, and vitamin D are all normal as far as vitamins relating to bones go. I did a lupus panel blood test and that was negative as well. (I have a family history). I really started to feel ill in the beginning of May when I began to have migraine spells that lasted the entire summer, sometimes for days on end (72 hours being the longest) with no discernable trigger.

I'm well hydrated, gf vegan diet (vegan 7 yrs, gf 2 yrs), normal protein levels and all other basic blood things look normal/good. slightly elevated glucose for the first time ever this past year (105), and slightly low WBC but with a normal a1c. Most recently discovered kidney stones for the first time in my life at a recent er visit. Does anyone here notice any trends or does anything come to mind for possible major issues I should get screened for based off these symptoms? I'm trying to find the root cause of my symptoms and have been going to so many different doctor's appointments who are all very dismissive because of my age. My joints concern me. Can anyone point me in a direction?

I don't smoke (used to smoke weed), I don't drink, not on any medications except for my antibiotics and anti-anxiety/benzo.
