Can too-tight jeans give you a disease?
Yep. Skin-tight low-risers are “the” look. Your fave celebs loves ’em; your mom hates ’em. Sorry, but your mom wins this one. A Canadian doctor warns that the jeans can squeeze a nerve under the hip bone, causing tingling or burning sensations in your thighs, called paresthesia.
The good doc recently treated three young women with this condition who’d been wearing low-rise pants regularly for six months.
After the women traded their hip-huggers for looser-fitting clothes, their symptoms disappeared. Paresthesia is not life-threatening but, if ignored, can cause permanent numbness.
