The Veteran's right foot plantar fasciitis and left knee degenerative arthritis have been granted service connection. The case of recurrent multi joint and muscle disability (fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome) is remanded for further evaluation.

The Veteran's claim for service connection for a low back disability is denied, while his claim for chronic fatigue due to an undiagnosed illness is granted. The issues of service connection for cervical spine and bilateral foot disabilities are remanded.

The Board has determined that a remand is necessary to obtain relevant treatment records, determine if the Veteran meets criteria for a diagnosis of chronic fatigue syndrome, and assess whether his condition manifesting as fatigue is related to service-connected conditions.
