Can Hand Tremor Be Caused By Shoulder Joint Problems?

My dad s hands shake a lot and recently I noticed that when he stands and braces his hands on the table the right one jerks and he almost falls. He is 73 yrs old and refuses to go to the dr. I m wondering if this could be a shoulder joint issue or something more serious like Parkinson s? He still farms and works 10 hr days

Dear Sir/Madam
I have gone through your query and read your symptoms.
In my opinion, its not shoulder related problem, tremors could be due to thyroid problems or Parkinsons, and you will need to consult a physician, for this purpose.
I hope that answers your query. If you want any more clarification, contact me back.
