Skinny Jeans and Squatting could land you in Trouble

Doctors in Australia have shared a case of a 35-year-old woman who had to suffer a lot for squatting for several hours while wearing her skinny jeans. She remained hospitalized for four days and was then able to walk on her own.

The woman wearing skinny jeans spent her day squatting for long time entire day while helping move the house. At the end of the day, the woman realized that she was feeling extremely tight in her jeans and her feet were number.

She could go back home and fell. She could not get up on her own and was immediately taken to hospital. Doctors had to cut open her jeans and saw that her legs were swollen a lot. She was treated for four days and then also, she felt a lot of weakness in her legs.

Doctors said the woman was treated with intravenous hydration. It could be a more serious issue than people realize. As per doctors, wearing such tight jeans can cause a neurological issue called tibial neuropathies.

In this problem, people can face a loss of feeling and movement in the legs, especially in the lower part. Dr. Perry Shieh said that the incident could have taken place because of the continuous movement while wearing pants that were too tight.

Dr. Roy Buchinsky at the University Hospitals Case Medical Center said that surgery can be required in extreme cases.
