Skinny jeans could be a tight-squeeze hazard

Attention wearers of skinny jeans - don't squat, at least not for long.

Doctors in Australia report that a 35-year-old woman was hospitalized for four days after experiencing muscle damage, swelling and nerve blockages in her legs after squatting for several hours while wearing tightfitting denims.

"We were surprised that this patient had such severe damage to her nerves and muscles," said Thomas Kimber, a doctor at the Royal Adelaide Hospital.
