A member asked:
Is it normal to br able to move the bones in mu fingers dby pusging down on my palm anf wiggleing them?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Probably normal: The bones of the fingers and hand are extremely mobile, designed for a range of movement. Some people have more laxity in their joints than others, so as long as it isn't painful or causing other abnormal symptoms i don't see this being a problem.

Yes!: Although how much they wiggle with how much pressure you're applying might vary enough to suggest excessive joint laxity, which could be a sign of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. Your doctor can offer some guidance on how much is normal, and whether your mobility is enough to generate concern.
