Doctor Issues Warning After Woman Gets Trapped in Skinny Jeans

If you're headed down Main Street in Cedar Falls this weekend, you seriously may want to consider wearing a skirt or dress.

A neurologist has issued a warning about the dangers of wearing skinny jeans after treating a woman who got trapped in her denim and passed out on the side of the street.

In the new issue of Neurology, Neurosurgery and Psychiatry, Dr. Thomas Kimber reveals that the 35-year-old Australian woman was helping a friend move, and that the jeans restricted the blood supply to her calves and caused her legs to swell so much that doctors had to cut off her pants.

“The take home message is to avoid wearing skinny jeans if you intend to do a job with squatting or kneeling,“ he continues. “If your legs begin to feel uncomfortable or tingle, you should stand up and get the blood circulating again.”

So leave the "painted-on jeans" look for country music songs, please. It's for your own good.
