Panicked over a leg cramp until I checked my pants size

I was doing morning stretches and felt a weird pull in my thigh. I started thinking I had a serious injury from my last workout. Then I remembered I wore my old jeans that shrunk in the wash. The tight fit was just squeezing my leg and tricking my brain.

Yeah that reminds me of the time I freaked out over a weird chest pain for days. Turns out it was just my new workout shirt being way too tight across the back. I was convinced I had pulled a muscle or something. Spent twenty minutes stretching before I finally changed my shirt and the pain was just gone. Our brains are so easy to trick when our clothes are too small.

You're right, @robert_rodriguez66, it's wild how our minds jump to the worst case. Has that shirt-tightness trick ever happened to you with other clothes, like a new pair of jeans?
