The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration of the WCJ's take-nothing findings, which denied applicant's claims of industrial injury to his hips, legs, abdomen, chest, ribs, hernia, and neck across four case numbers. The Board found that the existing medical evidence, particularly Dr. Reynolds' reports, was insufficient to definitively resolve the issue of industrial cumulative trauma injury. Therefore, the matter was returned to the trial level for further development of the medical record, including potential appointment of a new physician in an appropriate specialty, to ensure a decision supported by substantial evidence.
