In my contorted state, I'm not sure that it would have been possible to professionally fit me properly other than to fit me to accommodate that lean.

I solved the issue by lowering my seat nearer to the bottom of my fit window than the top and then gradually working my way back up. That process took about three months of riding several times each week.
That seems a reasonable thing to do. Essentially setting the saddle height for the leg that can't reach the pedal as easily.

However I'd still ask your GP or someone at your next wellness exam about it. The GP can recommend you to someone that can better diagnose it or send you to a PT. It can be just skeletal and/or muscular trauma from some silly little accident or such from as far back as when you were very young. Or poor posture habits that got you this way. And PT can re-adjust you to a better alignment on the saddle. PT is Physical Therapist. not a Personal Trainer! <grin>
