The VA neurologist found no evidence of reflex sympathetic dystrophy in the veteran's left lower extremity. The claim for service connection is denied.
The deciding factor: The VA neurologist could not find any hallmarks of reflex sympathetic dystrophy during a comprehensive examination and review of the claims file, which included multiple physical examinations over several years.
