The Agreed Medical Evaluator (AME) determined that while the applicant's October 2009 injury exacerbated his right knee, prior injuries were the cause of permanent disability. The AME also opined that the meralgia paresthetica was due to complications of thoracic outlet syndrome, unrelated to the claimed industrial injury.
