recent fall 6 weeks to heel

thank you for the warm welcome.

lt's been about 12 days now,since i fell on my right hip and putting a crack on it.The orthopedic says i should have my hip replaced soon 2 or 3 years because i have "Avascular necrosis in the right hip" l have been limping about 3 years with pain but iv'e been taking T3 for the pain.my only worry is will my hip heel so that i may walk on it again within that time period,l try so hard to put pressure on it cause thats what the orthopedic says but i get sharp pains cause of the crack,all i want to do is be able to walk again before i get my hip replaced within 3 to 5 years.is this possible?because i'm really nervous that i can't walk with this pain,on the other hand when i take my
T3 i feel great and ready to go "NO PAIN",l am hoping that some here will try to read and tell me true that within 6 to 8 weeks that i can put that leg down and begin walking.

Thanks for your replys Robert
