Has anyone had a reverse shoulder replacement on both shoulders?

I had both rTSRs last year. I am female, 68. In my experience, it seemed my first surgery and dominant shoulder progressed as PT expected. Although this was a slowwww process to me. My second recovery lagged but w no significant complications.

Now, six months after the last surgery, and one year after the first, I have complete upward range of motion, moderate up my back but can remove my bra strap, lol 😆, no pain.

Was the surgery worth it for me? Absolutely! I do find it helpful to do stretching exercises or pool workouts.

Good health and recovery to you.

Thank you for your helpful response. It has only been 6 days since my 2nd replacement. I have little shoulder pain, but my hand in very painful with burning and tingling. I did not have it this bad with my 1st replacement on the other side. I am starting to worry that this is a result of nerve damage during surgery. The pain is a 7 on a pain scale. I was off pain meds by the 5 th day and driving.
