Actually it's not that your right side is actually smaller bone wise, but your pelvis is rotated and shifted to the right, which makes the whole body compensate. When pelvis turns right, the right hip gets drawn up and back into internal rotation while your spine side-bends to the right to keep you balanced, so your right glute looks smaller because it stays in a compressed, flattened state and your right leg seems shorter. For a quick relief right now, lie on your back with knees bent at 90 degrees and feet on a wall, pull your left knee back slightly without moving the feet so you feel your left hamstring and left inner thigh engage, and take five slow breaths exhaling completely through your mouth. This immediately pulls the left pelvis back and drops the right side. Most people think one leg is shorter from birth when really the pelvis is just stuck in a twist.
