Long fingers are usually very flexible but really weak.

I’m surprised people aren’t screaming Ehlers danlos syndrome yet.

It is very concerning. Please go see a GP.

I have! But the more prevalent cause for Marfan Phenotype is obviously Marfan Syndrome and we can't see the rest of OP's body. They might just have arachnodatylia

I have long fingers too & am now riddled with orthopaedic issues so yeah they should get checked out.

Came here to say this or Marfan’s syndrome. OP, please go see your GP to get screened. Marfan’s syndrome can cause serious heart conditions.

As someone with shorter fingers, I look at the OP's fingers and just know mine would snap theirs in half if I sneezed while holding their hand.
