Frozen Shoulder
I won't say that carrying your wallet in your backpocket is a cause of Frozen Shoulder, but it's very awkward for almost all shoulder conditions which limit internal rotation of the shoulder joint.

Sitting on a wallet
Sitting on your wallet, in the car or at your desk, obviously also will give you (temporarily) a crooked spine, because it raises one side of the pelvis.

Have A Question about your lower back?
I receive many questions about Chiropractic. It might be help with a spinal condition, but it might also be from a person who can't walk after a hip operation, or some such thing.
I will do that by answering your questions personally, but it will be converted to a Web Page so others can benefit from your questions. Omit your name if you like...
However, do understand that, in the main, I'm going to be directing you (should it be pertinent) to a Chiropractor in your neck of the woods. I'll respond to all reasonable inquiries, but please be specific, and give some details.
There is no charge for this service, however if you find my answer useful, you might like to consider purchasing my latest book, Stones in my Clog. Gems, both funny and healthful, from the life and work of a Chiropractor. It's only $2.99. (http://www.bernard-preston.com/Stones-in-my-Clog.html)
Pose Me A Question! Pretty please, in decent grammar and spelling.
I will never give or sell your e-mail address to anyone.
Do understand that lower back pain is extremely complex, so I can only give general guidelines. There's no substitute for a careful thorough chiropractic examination.

Sacroiliac Joint anatomy
The extra 'pull' on one buttock when walking compared to the other has caused chiropractors to speculate that it is one cause of the notorious Sacro-iliac syndrome. While this hasn't been proved (to my knowledge), it does carry a certain logic.

The sciatic nerve emerges from the pelvis right in the middle of the buttock, right where your back pocket wallet fits. Direct pressure on the sciatic nerve is likely to irritate the nerve. Chiropractic Help says this is a no-no.
