if there is an indication for hip replacement then there may not be short cuts and 3 weeks is normal time to do sedentry permissible work with guarded movement.yes youmay defer surgery under cover of pain killers butthing that is inevitable cannot be avoided for long.however you may seek second opinion with a hip surgeon to evaluate the necessity or alternative to surgery
