Freaky Fingers...

Ok, I've been 'playing' for only a month, and I know I need to keep practicing, and I know my fingers will get stronger and will stretch, but...

...I think I'm cursed with freaky fingers, specifically my pinkies. I put my hand flat on a desk and can spread them easily. If I turn my hand over and bend my fingers, they all decide to they want point towards a spot at the base of the thumb, even if I try to stop them. The nail of my pink is halfway under my ring finger.

Guitarwise, if I put my ring finger on say the 14th fret, my pinky struggles to get onto the 15th fret. It feels lonely and tries to cuddle up with it's neighbour on the 14th.

I'm cursed I tells yer, cursed. Tell me this is normal, you all had this problem, and it will soon be a thing of the past...even if it's not true. Otherwise, can anyone recommend a good (and cheap) surgeon?
