While skinny jeans are still a fan favorite among many women, it seems that they can actually cause your body real harm. Well, this totally gives a new meaning to beauty is pain, huh.
I don’t really know why that chick is smiling. Every girl/woman knows the struggle of looking like a circus clown to get too tight jeans on, and I’m sure you don’t look that happy…Annnnyyway..
Now, it is true *for some* that skinny jeans will give you the appearance of elongated legs, and… well, make them look skinny. However, when you find out what they can be doing to you, you might want to ditch them for the newly popular boyfriend jean. *my personal fav 😉 *
Just last month, an Australian woman spent four days in the hospital after her too-tight pants constricted the blood supply to her calf muscles and she collapsed. The staff had to cut the jeans off of her body and Dr. Thomas Kimber of the Royal Adelaide Hospital in Australia told the AP, “We were surprised that this patient had such severe damage to her nerves and muscles.” (Who needs nerves anyway, they’re soooo overrated)
In case you thought this was a strange one off situation, here’s another for you…
Scientists recently documented a case of a 35-year-old woman whose legs had swelled up so bad — and whose ankles had become so weak as a result — that she couldn’t walk. At the hospital, doctors had to cut off her pants to remove them from her inflated legs.
Her diagnosis?
Compartment syndrome, a condition that results from increased pressure in a confined body space, like, from wearing *TA-DA*… skinny jeans.
See, there’s a theme here. I mean honestly, could you image telling friends and co-workers that you were hospitalized for wearing your favorite pair of skinny minnies?…That you had to have emergency surgery to have denim cut off of from your limbs?! ..Yeah, didn’t think so.
So how do you know if your skinnies are TOO skinny? Well if the below looks like you taking them off, it’s safe to say it’s time to go up a size or two 😉
There you have it! Not only is it incredibly hard for most people to look at you wearing painfully tight denim that is bursting at the seam, but it’s actually not healthy for you. Don’t shoot the messenger, I’m just out here trying to save your life …
