RICE (rest, ice, compression, elevation) has been found to delay healing and is disavowed by Dr Gabe Mirkin who coined the term. MEAT is the new mnemonic for joint injuries, which stands for Movement, Exercise, Analgesics, and Treatment. This treatment protocol is focused on getting the healing response to turn on and regain the function of an injured area. Good luck.
