PRIME was my own interpretation of the necessary advice

HARM is a recognised acronym, R should be to Running not Rest sorry duh

Heat usually works too soothe long term injuries but not too treat acute ones, but it varies from person to person so I always recommend that patients try both,

The NSAIDs drugs I was referring too were such as aspirin, Ibuprofen or naproxen. The idea of delayed administration being not to interfere with the bodies own inflammatory response which is part of the healing process.

Paracetamol doesn't have much of on anti-inflammatory response so cant be a really called a NSAID

Fair enough then. Though my first choice would have been the aspirin.
