Although skinny jeans look great, doctors say they can be dangerous to our health! According to some experts, tight jeans can cause a nerve disorder called Roth-Bernhardt disease.
When paired with high heels, skinny jeans place a lot of pressure on the femoral cutaneous nerve, which runs throughout the thigh. As a result, girls often feel tingling and burning in their legs, although they rarely associate these sensations with their clothing style.
The disease has already been called "tingling hip syndrome." A woman who developed it described the symptoms as follows: “It felt really strange - like my leg was numb and stopped functioning.”
However, this disease is not new and has often occurred in construction workers, pregnant women and obese people; even young, athletic women sometimes suffer from it.
Dr John England of the American Academy of Neurology said: “The nerve in some people is subject to compression. This is a purely sensory nerve - it does not go into the muscles and does not provide strength. Anything that tightly compresses the area where it passes through can theoretically compress the nerve located there.”
But before you decide to throw away your tapered pants, remember that the damage is not permanent, as it will go away once you remove the pressure.
Just don't wear skinny jeans all the time, take breaks, changes in your style - and everything will be fine. Health to you!
