More commonly seen-: -in diabetes, or idiopathic. usually bilateral, one after the other, mainly women of your age. I have treated many and have not seen any develop Parkinson's. if your last few words mean some of you family have developed Parkinson's, I would think the familial cause is way greater than a frozen shoulder.
