Does Fosamax Help In Treating Avascular Necrosis Of The Hip?

I am a 74 year old healthy woman who was diagnosed recently with avascular necrosis of the hip. Some time in the 1980's, I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's thyroiditis, and have been treated with synthroid .137 mg. Is the AVN possibly related to the thyroid disease? Is Fosamax a viable treatment for retarding the AVN?
Thank you.
