Hiphuggers might be "in" in women's fashion, but they might leave you with tingly thighs.
Ontario Dr. Malvinder Parmar treated three "mildly obese" women between the ages of 22 and 35 who complained of tingly thighs, he said in a letter in the January issue of the Canadian Medical Association Journal.
