  My hunch feels validated. I think it highly depends on area affected because vasoconstriction decreases limphatic throughbout as well as bloodflow. Still highly case-by-case but I think lowering inflammation in load bearing or complex joints like knees or ankles is conducive to nominal operation and therefore healing. (100% rest not recommended, as repair byproducts accumulate and don't clear away, and decreases bloodflow rsults in lower delivery of nutrients, building blocks of tissue, etc.
