Lake Mills football player Tyler Olson and his rehab from a spinal cord injury have been hampered the past two days as he’s dealing with shoulder pain.

Olson, who broke his neck while trying to make a tackle in a football game, has seen his right arm get stronger and has better wrist control and movement, according the his website on caringbridge.org

The pain in the shoulder may be a good sign as it may signify the nerves and muscles repairing themselves.
