Skinny Jeans has become a style trend among the girls. No doubt, a jeans paired with short tees or tops adds to one’s chic look but wearing this type of pants on regular basis can result in extreme health issues.

Doctors are warning the potential risks of wearing skinny jeans after they received complaint from a woman. They found she was suffering from muscle and nerve damage wearing too tight pair of pants.

The unidentified 35-year-old woman had come to hospital with complaint of ankle weakness and swelling in her lower legs. A published article said that she “recalled that her jeans had felt increasingly tight and uncomfortable during the day”.

The hospital doctors had to cut the jeans because they were so tight and found that she had severe weakness in her ankles because her leg nerves had been damaged.

Doctors while investigating the case came to a conclusion that she was suffering from ‘compartment syndrome’, a dangerous condition where an injury leads to swelling of the muscle or nerves that is restricted by a layer of tissue called the fascia.

Dr. Roy Buchinsky, Director of Wellness at the University Hospitals Case Medical Center in Cleveland said fascia surgery is one of the solutions for women suffering from inflamed muscles.

Further adding, he said in severe cases amputation has been used to help treat the patient.
