The thumb, does it hurt? ;)
My thumb is like that. It is my normal range of motion. Of all the limiters to be bypassed, this one is quite tame.
Hitchhiker's thumb

Estimated 25% of people have it in the US. And unless you also have some other hyper mobility disorder, it just feels like normal thumb movement.
