Do you have Arachnodactyly?

If you can make your thumb stick out past your fist like this as well as wrap your fingers around your wrist with your thumb covering the entire pinky nail, you have Arachnodactyly (long thin fingers and wrists - like spider legs!). If you have this, it could mean nothing, but there's a small chance that you might also have Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome or Marfan Syndrome, especially if you're hypermobile (very bendy/flexible).

Can you do it?

[@Catlily5]

With my left thumb only. No to the wrists.

[@Catlily5]

Well, my right thumb is borderline.

[@shannongreenwell1278]

My thumb doesn’t do that, however I can wrap my fingers around my wrist. I was able to do that as a child, I guess my thumb has shrunk somewhat since I had gotten older.

[@jennyb5385]

Yes. And in the second one my thumb doesn't just cover the nail it covers the whole first segment of my index finger to the knuckle

[@ehlersdanlosandi]

That's impressive!

[@HarryButler-io9jr]

Yes

[@Fckyouification]

Can do!

[@partharoy6077]

It do in marfan syndrome also

[@theglockykuzdra1006]

I thought I just had long fingers 😂

[@thegracklepeck]

Nope, don't have long fingers and my wrists are on the medium -larger side. However, my beighton score shows I definitely have hypermobility. I'm short so no Marfanoid body type here 😅

[@MusicJunkie37]

Yep I'm a male and my fingers look even more disproportionate and skinny than yours, Marfan syndrome was ruled out after a genetic test but I probably have EDS
I hate it

[@user-le6jt5wo1k]

[@ehlersdanlosandi]

No, but I'm aware of what you're talking about, so thanks for asking
