Is there any therapy or corrective measures for a thick meniscus or is it kind of a permanent condition?
Is your doctor referring to full knee bends? Does it make a difference if it's weighted or just body weight? Can you do partials? If so, something like deadlifts or jumping drills might work or the stance work from karate or kung fu or something. Can you do isometrics?
It sounds like you might be best off talking to your doctor about it, maybe he can refer you to a physical therapist. I would be careful about taking well meaning advice from the internet because people don't really know anything about your condition.
