A 35 year old woman from Adeliade put her life in danger when her skinny jeans cut off the blood supply to her calf muscles, leaving her to collapse and crawl for help. The Australian ‘fashion victim’ immediately rushed to the Royal Adelaide Hospital, where the doctors found her nerves severely damaged to the point of bringing her acute numbness.
Apparently, the lady was squatting for a whole day as she was helping her relatives clean out cupboards. Even though she noticed that her legs were becoming increasingly uncomfortable, she did not bother to seek help. This soon led to the compression of two major nerves in her calf, which caused severe weakness in her legs.
It was only when the woman took a break from work and went out on a walk in the park that she realized her legs becoming weak and painful before collapsing. The woman was reportedly unable to stand up on her own and she slowly crawled out to hire a cab and admitted herself to the hospital. The doctors had to cut her jeans from her legs due to massive swelling.
