Hi,
There must be some confusion.
Are we talking about rheumatoid arthritis or osteoarthritis.
Rheumatoid arthritis affects hand joint commonly.
Osteoarthritis, in the elderly commonly affects the knee.

If we are indeed talking about osteoarthritis, You can use any of them orally and apply any of them topically. Almost everything has similar formulations and similar effects.

Also exercise to maintain muscle strength and joint mobility without increasing inflammation
If you have any further questions, happy to help again.
