Has anyone had a reverse shoulder replacement on both shoulders?

I just had my second reverse shoulder replacement done 5 days ago. The first went really well and I recovered quickly. This is my left and dominant side. It seems much more swollen and painful than the first. I had a fever for 4 days ranging from 100 to 102.

My hand has a lot more numbness and my forearm is cramping up. I know it will get better. The surgeon thought he could repair the rotator cuff tear so first went it with a scope, but there was too much damage and the tear was bigger than they thought.
What are others experience with both shoulders having a reverse shoulder replacements? Did you have good range of motion and function after a few months?
