Do peglegs need medicine?

Why do peg legs need medicine? After all they are just attaching a piece of wood to his leg. Still i guess its for balancing, but peg legs aren't even that good. So I don't think they should need medicine to apply. What do you think?

They're actually slicing open the bottom of the stump and jamming a stick up in there so it touches the bone and letting it heal up that way. Not very efficient, and quite painful, but who wants to make a proper peg leg with fastening, right?

Support.

Thank you for telling me, I didn't know that if that is true of course... I feel kind of embarrassed now, lol but then again i didn't know. Did I? But if it is only painful you still don't need medicine though, do you ^^

Pfff they are all weaklings! In the past ppl had their (infected/heavy wounded) legs amputated WITHOUT any meds, anesthesia and only with knifes and a bonesaw. But then again they needed 2+ ppl to do it, because the patient wouldn't keep still (who would have thought).

As for the ingame peglegs: They take just a log and start the operation, so I don't believe that it could be removed without another operation. How about a peg leg that can be strapped onto the person without a operation?

I agree, there should just be a way to strap a pegleg onto them without medicine. But since they're not using medicine there must be a lowered movement speed or something. For balancing of course.
