Surgery is best option but looking to her other health issues you can pull it as much as possible but if here routine is getting disturbed and pain is beyond limits better to get operated. It is a safe ax

Treatement of avascular necrosis depends on the staging of the disease. If the xray could be shared it would be helpful.
If there has been a collapse of the head and hip movements are painful and restricted then hip replacement is the best option provided other medical comorbidities are optimised.
