It's around 4 degrees higher from horizontal plane

With scoliosis, it should be the right hip higher

I don't think it's a leg length discrepancy

I went to doctor about back but forgot to mention this

It's been like this for years

Your left hip looks higher probably because of muscle imbalance, not bone. It can happen from bad posture, sitting or standing unevenly, or tight muscles on one side. It might also be from a small spine curve or rotated pelvis. A physio can check it better.:unsure:

Trashy posture since childhood, that's probably why.

The line in my picture is connecting the two frontal hip bones

I got referred to physio for chronic lower back pain, so I might mention it there. And then will probably pay for an x-ray of lumbar spine or pelvis

Tell the physio about the left hip being higher. t could be related to muscle imbalances posture or mild scoliosis.
Ask the physio to check for pelvic tilt, leg length differences, and any joint or muscle issues. Get an xray of the lower back and pelvis, it can show if there’s anything structural going on

Also
Start doing light stretches for tight areas like the lower back and hip flexors.

Begin simple core and glute exercises like planks or glute bridges
