Non-injection treatments for arthritis in knee

Two quick questions:
1.) Where do you buy the collagen peptides and are they expensive? What dosage do you take (daily?), and are Types 1,2, and3 separate supplements or combined?
2.) Do you think the BAXYL hyaluronic acid is broken down in the stomach with acidic content, and are injections a better option, even knowing the HLA injections are not effective for some patients? Dosage?
Thanks in advance - I just got arthroscopic surgery on my left knee in mid-April, and the stiffness and swelling are making mobility very difficult. I limp a lot. I have not started physical therapy yet due to the pain in the knee, that runs also up to my hip.

The peptides can be purchased in a combination. I get mine through Amazon. Follow the recommended dosage from the provider / manufacturer. Same for the HLA. The person posing the original questions asked for non-injection approaches.
Both peptides and HLA are available in injectible forms. I have not researched the differences in effectiveness.
It may be counterintuitive yet the right rehab can reduce pain, stiffness, and swelling plus improve mobility. I have had two knee surgeries and worked with many who have had them. In my opinion, some type (even something limited like stretching) should have started shortly after the surgery. So unless your physician has directed otherwise, I would suggest finding a good physical therapist and moving forward.
I do consider myself an expert in the use of PEMF. That could be of tremendous help to your recovery (swelling, stiffness, discomfort management, tissue repair and more) plus it can help to make peptides/HLA in whatever form more effective (distribution and uptake).
