Hello, thank you for your question.
Meniscus repair requires a proper rehabilitation plan which can extend upto 6 months.
It's been just 2 months. You need to take things lighlty and do not put extreme pressures on your repaired meniscus.

Take some anti-inflammatory medications and do hot water fomentation.

Hi it might be that menisci hasnt healed properly. You should avoid bending knee unnecessarily. Also if ligament is not properly healed then recovery will be slow. Take care

Your symptoms are complex one reasons could be many right from infection, non healing of meniscus, cartilage injury to Reflex symptomatic dystrophy. Thorough physical examination and check up is important. If needed repeat MRI of knee would be suggested.
