my friend had surgery on his meniscus 4 months ago and he still has to go to physical therapy...
i think recovery time is usually 6 weeks before you can really do any movements with your knee

probably like 5 weeksish. when they cut out some of my cartilage out of my shoulder i was doing the arm bike in about that much time. full recovery was like 10 weeks though.

luckly ortho on your meniscus has the fastest heal time of any surgery on your knee.
