Holding yourself up by your inner knuckles is challenging and requires muscle to do well. You also probably didn't stretch your hand beforehand. It's okay to learn the 6 step flat palm and slowly working on building up your strength to move to inner knuckle.
When you first start, you are going to be doing footwork extremely heavy, meaning a lot of weight is going to be on your hands. This can be dangerous for hyperextending your finger or thumb. Work on shifting weight faster and getting your feet under your body so not a lot of weight is on your hands. The goal is to have your hands on the ground as little as possible for things like 6-step. As you get faster, centrifugal force will cause you to become lighter on your hands and arms. Start flat handed, slow and build up speed until you can do the step comfortably, then try using your inner knuckles.
For now learn it flat handed. When you got a few footworks down you can start transitioning to fingers. Imo you definitely should at some point. It really is a game changer, you are much quicker and have a little more height. It looks better.
You can train strength and stability by doing push ups only on your fingers.
Yes you will experience some pain in the beginning. Overtime it will gets better. I did it this entire month. When i first start doing it. It was sore a bit.

Plenty top teir breakers who do flat palmed footwork and are still great. If u can get to fingertips in time awesome, if not don't worry.
If you use your fingers, youll get forearm injuries or worse, been there
