We're still icing and elevating? I've always felt dubious about our attempts to rectify our bodies evolving inflammation. It doesn't seem like any great evil to let the body part get more blood, signals to stop us using it, and a lower range of movement.
No, reducing inflammation can help manage pain, but beyond that is not beneficial (actually is detrimental) to healing. https://drmirkin.com/fitness/why-ice-delays-recovery.html
