Paresthesia refers to a burning or prickling sensation that is usually felt in the hands, arms, legs, or feet, but can also occur in other parts of the body. The sensation, which happens without warning, is usually painless and described as tingling or numbness, skin crawling, or itching.
I get temporary paresthesia - which isn't serious, I don't think.
MUST READ ARTICLE: (I snipped it)
A few years ago the Canadian Medical Association Journal received a letter detailing the cases of three women who had developed a nerve condition similar to carpal tunnel syndrome as a result of regularly wearing too tight pants.
This Canadian doctor warned that too tight trousers can squeeze a sensory nerve under the hip bone, causing a tingling, burning sensation called paresthesia. In a statement unlikely to endear himself to fashion-conscious females, he said "low-rise" trousers were not suitable for "heavy women" and suggested that women return to wearing traditional high-waisted jeans or preferably loose dresses...
But it's not only the women that need education. Men, especially the ones that are considering fatherhood, will have to limit their wearing of tight fashion as well. That's because wearing tight pants can cause infertility and damage to the testicles. In the 16th century, Russian peasants actually used bearskin pants as a method of birth control.
