Leg length descrepency of upto an inch is considered fairly normal and is utilized by Chiropractors for an extra $55 snap. The pain you descrip sounds like a hip bursitis and has little to nothing to do with your leg length descrepency. His adjustment probably focused on the SI joint which had nothing to do with your pain.
You should take some decent strength anti-inflammatory medications (naproxen comes to mind) and do passive ROM excercises to moderate some of the inflammation.
If the pain travels down your leg past your knee, you may also have some nerve compression and this deserves a closer examination by a sports medicine bubba or physical therapist.
In uncomplicated cases (as yours SOUNDS to be), tincture of time and appropriate CONSISTANT medications prescribed by your promary care person will usually do the trick. In extreme cases that are unresponsive to therapy, steroid injections into the inflammed area may be necessary.
See your doctor or primary care provider, get some good meds, rest it.
