Hm ... as you don't want to believe me what about DeepSeek? I just asked:

"Is work connected to kneel and walking on one's knees bad for the knees?"

Yes, work that involves kneeling or walking on your knees (e.g., construction, flooring, cleaning, or religious practices) can be harmful to your knees over time. Here’s why:

Risks to Knee Health:
Joint Pressure

Kneeling concentrates your body weight on a small area, increasing pressure on the kneecap (patella) and cartilage, which can lead to pain or injury.

Bursitis

Repeated kneeling can inflame the bursae (fluid-filled sacs cushioning joints), causing swelling and pain ("housemaid’s knee" or prepatellar bursitis).

Cartilage Damage

Over time, kneeling may wear down knee cartilage, raising the risk of osteoarthritis.

Nerve Compression

Prolonged kneeling can compress nerves (e.g., the peroneal nerve), leading to numbness or tingling.

Convinced? :-)))
