Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the matter for an addendum opinion to address the Veteran's range of motion after repeated use over time and the ameliorative effects of his medication on his right knee disability.
The deciding factor: The March 2024 and March 2025 VA examinations did not adequately account for the Veteran's reported functional loss with repeated use over time, and there is a need to clarify the impact of his medication on his condition.
