One thing that most people do when injured that is just wrong is to take anti inflammatories asap...

Anti inflammatories literally decreases the amount of blood flow to the injured area, decreasing the recovery.

It stops the macrophages from clearing the injured area, and stops nutrients and other necessary things from getting to the area to start the healing process.

There is no need to take them unless you are over stressed causing more damage than healing or you need to go to work the next day and need to feel ok again(even though you won't be and will be at risk of more damage).

Inflammation = healing
