Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the appeal for further development as it still does not possess sufficient information to afford the Veteran the most favorable outcome.
The deciding factor: The examiner's inability to provide an opinion without resorting to mere speculation regarding the Veteran's left knee disability during flare-ups and the ameliorative effects of pain medication requires a remand.
