A woman in Australia experienced a startling health scare due to her ultra-skinny jeans. While walking home, she collapsed and was unable to get back up, lying helplessly on the ground until a passerby assisted her to the hospital. The attending physician, who later discussed the case with Health Digest, expressed astonishment at the severe nerve and muscle damage the patient suffered. It appears that wearing excessively tight pants can lead to nerve lesions in the groin area, but in her case, the consequences were far more severe: squatting in those constricting jeans cut off blood flow to her calves.
According to the Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery, and Psychiatry, she exhibited significant weakness in her ankle and toe movements, particularly on her right side. Medical personnel had to cut her jeans off to provide treatment. The patient remained hospitalized for four days—two days longer than what some experience after a C-section in the U.S.—and even upon discharge, she walked with noticeable unsteadiness.
While skinny jeans may be fashionable, they pose risks when engaging in any physical activities, such as packing or tending to young children. Perhaps we should take a cue from our little ones—who often opt for comfort over style—and consider going without pants altogether.
