Ice as Opposed to Heat

  I just recently had a doctor's visit after a back injury.  I took me about 4 days to go from being stuck in bed unable to move to back up an running normal.  I attribute my quick healing to the use of anti-inflammatory herbs and vitamins along with ibuprofen and ice packs and a massager made by homemedics with heat.   So why does the nurse write down ibuprofen and heat as the treatment I used?

  I have to wonder how many studies are conducted using similar notes.  Maybe it's nothing but I really wonder how much real information is recorded in medical records.
