I had a torn meniscus on my right due to a different sport which was fixed with keyhole surgery.
I did the left one (though not as severe) and the physio recommendation was lots of cycling for low impact and to polish the joint so that the lifted bit of meniscus would wear away.
That’s actually the reason I started cycling as more than just a mode of transport.
I’d recommend strengthening the knees, all the muscles around them, single leg stuff and instability training.
I would avoid running, as the road impact is awful if your meniscus is not in good condition.

Any thoughts on leg imbalance? I've got a left-knee injury (torn meniscus, so not going to heal) and my L-R balance has gone from something like at worst, 48-52 to, at best, 45-55.
Is it just "a thing" or something I should look to remedy and if so, how?
