ysobelHuh:
I came across an article from 2011 describing FOP in clinical terms but pretty depth-ful.
Apparently clinodactyly, aka a curved finger (usually, and in my case, the pinky curving in towards the ring finger) is a thing that happens frequently. Not a diagnostic thing the way "fop toes" are, because there are plenty of people with clinodactyly that don't have fop, but I guess a lot of fop people have it too?
I mean, I sort of guessed the nodules on my fingers were fop related, because that's not much of a jump -- condition that creates bone, bone lumps, probably related -- but it's kind of cool to know that it's a Thing. Not just me.
