60Y Female. After A Month Of Pain In My Left

60Y Female. After a month of pain in my left groin area, I had xray of left hip joint. Nothing Found. Then had MRI. Radiology reported Femur neck stress fracture. there is no injury identified to cause fracture. I have mind Osteoporosis diagnosed last year. Orthopedic PA recommended pinning. Otherwise, no weight bearing for 6 weeks. I sought 2nd opinion from another Orthopedic surgeon, but only saw his "triage physician". He read the MRI report, took another xray, and recommended no weight bearing for 4 weeks. I am coming up on the end of the 4th week. Do I wait another 2 weeks, or would it hurt to start using walker and seeing how the pain is? I do not want to start over with non weight bearing because I put weight on leg too soon. Thank you for any advice you can provide
