Being in fashion is not necessarily good for your health. We knew high heels bad for the back, we learn that slim jeans could cause nerve damage.
A surprising story
A young Australian woman spent 4 days in hospital recovering from compression nerve syndrome. In question his slim jeans (worn very very close to the body) worn during a move.
The Australian, accustomed to wearing skinny jeans, did not leave this trendy piece of clothing to help a friend with a move and spent some time squatting.
At the end of the day, her feet were so numb that she couldn’t walk. The young woman stumbled and would have remained alone for hours on a road where she was found, according to the site Theleadsoutgaustralia.
Her ankles were so swollen that the doctors at the hospital could not remove her jeans. They must have cut it up.
In question the association of the slim jeans and the squatting position. The jeans were so tight that they blocked the blood supply from the legs to the ankles, also causing swelling of the adjacent muscles and nerves.
“The squatting position compressed the external popliteal sciatic nerves in the leg and reduced blood flow to the calf muscles. Which calves started to swell, in turn robbing the internal popliteal sciatic nerves of blood and so on, ”explained Professor Thomas Edmund Kimber, of the Neurology Unit at Royal Adelaide Hospital (Australia). Who recalls that this accident to also happen to men! Hipsters watch out!
