Skinny Jeans::

 Skinny jeans- they look awesome (on most people) but are they really worth it???::

 "Constant pressure from the tight denim jeans cuts off the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve create the nerve condition called 'meralgia paresthetica" 

So basically, and a bit more descriptively known as "tingling thigh syndrome." 
The lateral femoral cutaneous nerve runs from the outside of the pelvis and through the thigh. When compressed, it causes a numb, tingling, or burning sensation along the upper leg.
Tingling thigh syndrome is more common in construction workers who wear heavy work belts, pregnant women, or those who are obese. Over the past few years though, more and more healthy women are complaining of symptoms due to their tight skinny jeans. High heels, often worn with skinny jeans, complicate the issue since they tilt the pelvis forward, increasing pressure on the nerve.

So tell me are those super tight skinny jeans really worth it?
