I had a torn meniscus with a bit of other tissue damage in there as well. Doc was not so good, and didn't mention therapy at all. Still, I've recovered well, mostly with karate and biking. Stretching and building the muscles back is impt. If I go without, my knee will pain me.

Hang in there. Recovery is no joy, but time passes. Biking is one of the best things for rehab - you've got something to look forward to.
