I think it might be a bit safer but can still have a systematic effect (ie affect the rest of your body). So in theory (though the effect is likely to be less than taking a pill) putting gel on your kneee can affect acid production in your stomach (cazy eh).

If you use gel you need to follow the dose, not take other ibuprofen/aspirin type drugs as well (though you could take paracetemol for pain) - and remember to wash our hands.
