As far as survival games go,7 Days to Diecan end up a very challenging experience, especially when you find yourself facing off against surprise screamers or a particularly vicious blood moon. It’s almost inevitable that you’ll get attacked a few times, and those attacks can leave you with lasting, frustrating injuries.
Sprains are bad enough, hampering your ability to jump and sprint across the map, but a broken bone is even worse, requiring a very long recovery time and impeding you further. Luckily, it’s not so difficult to heal from these ailments - as long as you have the right resources on hand.

How To Heal A Sprain
Sprains are annoying maladies to have - they make it more difficult to survive falls and will onlytake longer to heal if you sprint.
To begin with, the only way to heal a Sprained Leg is towait out the injury’s timer(which begins at ten minutes of real-time and extends with any further exertion on your legs). Leg-focused medical items, namely the Plaster Cast and Splint, will do nothing.

However, once you reachIntellect level three, you will be able topurchase the Intern skillin thePhysicianperk category. With this,Plaster Casts and Splintswill instantly heal a Sprained Leg.
If you’re playing with friends, it’s a good idea tomake sure one person has the Intern skillso they can heal other people’s Sprained Legs - the skill also allows you to use the items on other people.

How To Heal A Broken Leg
Like a Sprained Leg, Broken Legs will severely impede your movement and basically prevent you from jumping and sprinting. They alsolast far longer than Sprains.
Healing a Broken Leg is as simple asusing a Plaster Cast or a Splint- you do not need to take any skills to make them work on a Broken Leg. Using one of these items on a Broken Leg will replace the status effect with another one, which will beless annoyingto deal with in terms of movement andtake far less time to heal.
As always, though, you mustavoid sprintingto avoid the timer going up.
Plaster Castswill reduce the healing time by a larger amount than Splints, so use them if you have the choice!
