Looking at "PEACE & LOVE", the "A" stands for "Avoid Anti-inflammatories" because anti-inflammatories will reduce tissue healing. Ice is used as an anti-inflammatory. Because swelling often prevents movement. So since ice reduced the inflammation and swelling, it increased movement, which we've translated as "being better". But apparently what you want is to not move and aggravate the actual injury. We've moved from treating the symptoms to treating the cause.
