I think the suggestion of a shorter crank arm may actually work for you. If you ride with 172.5, then going to 170 on the left side may be good.
But sometimes, it is the other leg that is shorter and your body compensates by leaning over to that side so you feel the pain on the other side.
Best of luck. Maybe a recumbent would work better for you. There are many fast recumbent riders around my region. In fact, they are almost too fast.
This--first and foremost!
you have never had anyone properly address the imbalance through fit. if you need to switch shoes that will allow proper shims/wedges isn't that also worth it?
i say this as one who had a significant leg discrepancy that caused the same saddle sore over and over and over. not until i got shims and wedges properly adjusted (plus inserts) did this go away.
