\"Skinny<\/a>Squatting in super-tight \u201cskinny\u201d jeans may pose a health risk, Australian doctors warned Tuesday, reporting the case of a woman who temporarily lost feeling in her legs from an hours-long squeeze.
\nThe 35-year-old collapsed and had to be hospitalized the day after helping a relative move home, spending hours on her haunches to unpack cupboards.
\nThe unusual case was reported in a British specialist publication, the Journal of Neurology Neurosurgery & Psychiatry.
\n\u201cShe had been wearing tight \u2018skinny\u2019 jeans and recalled that these had felt increasingly tight and uncomfortable as the day wore on,\u201d the journal said.
\n\u201cLater that evening, she experienced numbness in her feet and found it difficult to walk, which caused her to trip and fall.
\n\u201cUnable to get up, she spent several hours lying on the ground before she was found.\u201d
\nThe woman\u2019s legs were so swollen that the jeans could only be removed by cutting them off, said the statement.
\nShe couldn\u2019t move her ankles or toes properly, and had lost feeling in her lower legs and feet.
\nShe was put on a drip, and was able to walk normally again four days later.
\nDoctors at the Royal Adelaide Hospital, South Australia, said the jeans, combined with the squatting, had reduced blood supply to the leg muscles.
\nAt the same time, nerve fibres connecting to the lower legs had been damaged by prolonged compression, which explained the numbness and loss of control.
\n\u201cThe present case represents a new neurological complication of wearing tight jeans,\u201d they wrote.<\/p>\n
