Skinny jeans causing nerve problems

If you yourself wear skinny jeans, you know some of the struggles- shimming into them, they're too tight, you can't do the splits in them...
But now, experts are saying that skinny jeans can cause a nerve problem- meralgia paresthetica. The jeans put pressure on the femoral cutaneous nerve that runs through the thigh and it causes a burning or tingling sensation.
So far, this condition is new and mainly effects pregnant, obese women, and construction workers. Apparently, this condition will become more common in the next few years. But the damage won't be permanent. Dr. William Madosky says, “The key is, you remove the pressure, and the nerve regenerates.”


Are you willing to experience the tingling/burning for style?
