There are 2 problems: While osteoporosis can cause leg pain it sounds like your pain is due to osteoarthritis with the loss of cartilage - ?Hip or knee. These are 2 separate problems and need to be addresses. Both unusual in someone only 32 years old. Suggest seeing a rheumatologist to sort it out.

Very young for these: At age 32 you are very young for such severe cartilage loss and osteoporosis. Perhaps there are additional factors such as a family history of these problems, or medications that are contributing to the damage. If you haven't already done so, see a rheumatologist.
