Earlier, we wondered if Zac Efron’s love for skinny jeans could affect his health? Well, it turns out that wearing skinny jeans does affect one’s health. They even have a name for it: tingling thigh syndrome. No, we didn’t make that up. It’s really a condition developed by one who wears super-tight jeans.
Here’s a recent story by MSNBC of a woman named Parmeeta Ghoman who was afflicted with the tingling thigh syndrome:
Ghoman’s skin-tight denim may have caused a temporary bout of a nerve condition called meralgia paresthetica, also known as “tingling thigh syndrome.” The condition can happen when constant pressure — in Ghoman’s case, from the skin-tight denim — cuts off the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve, causing a numb, tingling or burning sensation along the thigh.
