That's my conclusion too: keep moving!
The issue with NSAIDs Is that they are anti-prostaglandins:
NSAIDs block a specific enzyme called cyclooxygenase (or COX) used by the body to make prostaglandins. By reducing production of prostaglandins, NSAIDs help relieve the discomfort of fever and reduce inflammation and the associated pain.

Ths issue is that Inflammation is a good thing:
Our blood capillaries will expand, increasing blood flow to bring immune cells such as neutrophils and monocytes, antibodies, protein and other fluids to the injury site. This causes inflammation and swelling, which protects and repairs the damaged tissues, kickstarting the healing process.

Pain is the body's way of saying, "Don't do that!"
