Similar to many of the other 'ongoing' threads on here.
I'll start it off with a video from MobilityWOD about RICE, icing....and how we should combat inflamed muscles or tissue. TLDW version? Stop icing as it does nothing to fix the problem at hand.

As Mr. Reinl points out, “Yes, (making something numb is good) if the short-term goal is pain control and the prevention of the body’s normal cellular and vascular response to injury.”
Let me quote Dr. Nick DiNubile, Editor in Chief of The Physician And Sports Medicine Journal (physsportsmed.com) “Seriously, do you honestly believe that your body’s natural inflammatory response is a mistake?”
