Hi, I've been through sort of a meniscus tear also. I tore mine in April-2011 (couldn't walk without crutches for 3 weeks) And then wore a knee brace for 2 months…. After that I was able to walk normally but not run ( I didn't take any pysiotherapy)
Id say depends how much of a tear you have the longer it will take. To this date I can run, but not without feeling a slight pain when I finish running.
Just my two cents, and experience.

Riding a bike also causes me some discomfort and pain... but thats only when going uphill on flat surfaces I can manage.
As for squats, I try to avoid those completely, anything over 15kilo's and me bending my knees will be discomforting.

Thank you for your reply. I made a mistake doing squats with heavy weights and moving down all the way to the ground. I should have made the squats much shallower, and now I no longer do them. I used to do a lot of bicycling and now I have cut that in half. Every day I use cold therapy after I bicycle and it helps a lot with the pain. Like you, I had to use crutches for a couple of weeks, now I can bicycle again, but the pain is not over yet. I heard that such an injury could take six months to a year to heal...
