Default Rotator Cuff Tears After Surgery ?

Does anyone remember before BT1 went down that we were discussing that many of us seemed to be having shoulder problems? I recently had an MRI done of the right shoulder. I have a rotator cuff tear and need surgery. I saw a surgeon last week and he seems certain that there is a tear in the left shoulder as well. I recently had a steriod shot into both shoulders for pain. I have developed arthritis in the AC joint as well in the shoulder, but feel maybe it is the log rolls that create these tears after the surgery. How many here find they are having problems after surgery with shoulders? Just curious!
