I wrap the wrist 2-3 times wrap the thumb then go through each finger wrap the knuckles 3-4 times "top of knuckle under knuckle "palm" then back over knuckle" wrap the thumb the other way then continue to criss-cross the rest of the wrap till it is done. The pain is not on the top of the knuckles but in the palm where the knuckle is. "Strange right"
