12This is an appeal from a workers’ compensation dispute wherein the workers’ compensation judge (“WCJ”) found that claimant failed to carry her burden of proof that her work-related accident aggravated a preexisting lumbar condition, caused injury to her knee, or aggravated her mental condition. From a dismissal of her claim with prejudice, claimant has appealed. We affirm.
