usually, my fingers slightly curve upward when I try to hold my hands straight because they are 'double jointed.' theyve been like this for as long as I can remember. but within the past few months my fingers have began to curve the opposite way, as if beginning to bend them. it effects 4 fingers on my right hand, & my pinky & kind of my ring finger on my left (not my,thumbs). the pinky fingers & ring fingers are the worst on both hands. they hurt or feel strained frequently & its slowly gotten worse. even my right wrist hurts sometimes.
i dont use a keyboard often, I havent had any injuries, I dont go to school so im not holding a pencil often, basically no strenous activities. I need to get this fixed because im starting beauty school in the fall, & I need my fingers well for scissors.
what is this & what should I do?
thanks :) (link)

Go see your doctor. Being double jointed can be a sign of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, which can make your joints hurt. Another symptom is stretchy skin. If this is the case (or they are hurting for another reason) then your doctor can refer you for physiotherapy or other treatment.
