It probably has caused some cartilage wear in your hip/knee, and that's going to lead to arthritis, so it's not going to go away.

Scoliosis?

The signs of scoliosis can include: Uneven musculature on one side of the spine A rib prominence or a prominent shoulder blade, caused by rotation of the ribcage in thoracic scoliosis Uneven hips, arms or leg lengths Slow nerve action (in some cases)

Actually....it usually works the other way around. A significant (> 2 cm) anatomical leg length discrepancy raises the risk of lower extremity osteoarthritis.

I've often seen folks who have had joint replacement of the lower extremity experience pelvic and/or low back pain exhibit a significant leg length discrepancy.
