Does Ibuprofen actually help with the recovery process or does it just mask pain?

I hurt my knee running and have been icing it a few times a day and staying off it as much as possible. I am a little scared of taking Ibuprofen since it is harsh on the liver. Does it help in the recovery or does it just mask the pain without helping it heal?
