Why would you think a fractured leg would take 1 day to heal? PZ is a sim game. Fractured bones in real life take a lot longer than 1 day to heal my friend.

It takes about about 1 to 2 months for a fracture to recover. You need to eat a bit more then usual to speed up the process. You will regain more movement speed the longer it has been healing.
If you are just starting out I suggest restarting. You will have to be fairly lucky to heal off a fracture early game.

I think if youve the required skills,Herbalism, you can make a poultice that can increase healing speed for fractures. Every bit helps in the apocalypse

Stay well fed, put splinter on and dont touch it till you'll be able to run.

If you didn't take slow healer 2 weeks and you should be ok again.

You can still do a billion squats while healing. Good opportunity to get fitness xp.

Booze is a good substitute if painkillers are in short supply, also helps sleep if you have no sleeping pills. - just don't chug down a bottle of spirits and a pack of pills at the same time...it won't end well.
