Hello @alijg and welcome to the community. We are a friendly and supportive group and I hope that will be your experience as well.
I understand that you are waiting for a knee replacement and looking for pain relief. Have you tried Capsaicin cream - it is available by prescription and based on chillies. I use it on my hands and it provides me with some relief. Have a look through the following from our website.

Please keep posting and let us know how you are getting on and I am sure others will connect with you to share their thoughts and experiences as well.
With very best wishes
