You may look good in those tight jeans – but they could be doing some damage...


If those jeans fit like a glove – they’re probably hurting you....

According to Dr. Karen Boyle, of the Greater Baltimore Medical Center, tight jeans are to blame for a serious affliction. It’s a condition called meralgia, which manifests as tingling, numbness or pain in the upper legs. Tight jeans compress sensitive nerves in the hip, groin and thigh area – and if you wear them often, that damage could be permanent. Low-rise jeans can really strike a nerve if their tight. 

If you really like that skin-tight look, skip the heavy, constricting denim and opt for denim or other fabrics with lycra that give them their stretch.
