Hi looking for some advice I have recently been diagnosed with arthritus knees & hips I’ve read that an oval chain ring can ease pressure especially when climbing I run a 1x 10 set up any benefit would be gold for me. Thanks John

Take a look at 2X10 or 3X10, it gives you the potential for easier gears than 1X10 and may be the answer for you. An oval ring will at best make a small difference to your knees.
