Hello Nadia and thank you for your question.
I will try and answer your question in the best possible way I can.
The vertebrae in our spine protect the spinal cord which gives out Nerve roots between the bones.
Any malalignment of the vertebrae can impinge the Nerve roots.
One of the largest nerves arising from the lower back is the sciatic Nerve which runs down from the hip into back of the leg and it along with other muscles supplies our gluteus muscles.
Any impingement of the Nerve roots can hence cause pain along this Nerve resulting in your hip pain.
The extra weight on your right leg may very well worsen the impingement.
I hope that answers your question
